On this special boat tour organized with İzmir Gezi Dünyası & GeziFest İzmir, we spend most of the day in deep blue waters and beautiful bays.
🏝️ SULUADA – THE TURQUOISE PARADISE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
From the moment we set sail from Adrasan, the unique views of the Mediterranean accompany us.
As our boat moves away from the shore, the colors of the sea change, revealing the clear, turquoise waters of Suluada. With its natural beauty and pristine sea, Suluada stands out as one of the most impressive destinations in the Mediterranean.

DAY 3 | IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF KEKOVA: SUNKEN CITY, KALEKÖY & THE MEDITERRANEAN
Following our stay in Olympos, we start the day early and head toward Demre Çayağzı Harbor. Upon reaching the harbor, we board our boat and begin exploring Kekova, one of the Mediterranean’s most special routes.
On this program organized with İzmir Gezi Dünyası & GeziFest İzmir, we bring together the blue of the sea and Lycian history along the same route.
🚤 KEKOVA BOAT TOUR – EXTRA
The boat tour we will take among Kekova’s unique bays and historical texture is organized as an extra.
During this journey, we will not only enjoy the sea and the sun, but also discover traces of thousands of years of history from the water.
🏛️ SUNKEN CITY
The Sunken City, one of Kekova’s most remarkable sites, welcomes us with its historical ruins dating back to the Lycian period, part of which lies beneath the sea.
As our boat slowly passes through this area, our guide will tell us about the traces of old structures, stone walls, and stairway remains visible beneath the water.
Seeing traces of the past just beneath the sea as we travel across the calm waters of the Mediterranean will be a truly impressive experience.
🏖️ TERSANE BAY
We enjoy the clear waters of Tersane Bay, one of the swimming breaks on our boat tour.
Here, we will have free time to swim, cool off, and enjoy the natural beauty of the Mediterranean.
🌊 KALEÜÇAĞIZ BAY
Another stop in Kekova that stands out with its natural beauty is Kaleüçağız Bay.
We take a short break from our boat journey in this bay, surrounded by a peaceful atmosphere and deep blue waters, and experience the beauty of the region up close.
🏰 SIMENA – KALEKÖY
Simena (Kaleköy), one of the most special stops on our route, welcomes us with its historic stone houses and natural beauty.
We walk through the village’s characteristic streets toward the historic castle. After our walk through the rocky and sloping sections, a panoramic view of Kekova Bay awaits us at our destination.
During our time in Kaleköy, you can explore its historic atmosphere and take beautiful photographs.
Free time will also be provided in the area for lunch.
🎙️ A JOURNEY THROUGH HISTORY WITH OUR GUIDE
We explore Kekova not only through its landscapes, but also through its history.
Our guide will explain the history of the region, the Lycian civilization, and Kekova’s unique story as we visit the historical sites from the Sunken City to Simena.
Thus, our boat tour will become more than just a sea excursion, transforming into an enjoyable journey through history in the heart of the Mediterranean.

🏨 ACCOMMODATION
Yakamoz Bungalow or similar
Day 4: Mardin - Hasankeyf - Diyarbakır
☀️ After our morning breakfast, we begin exploring the city of Mardin today. Our first stop is the Kasımiye Madrasa, an important work from the Artuklid period. With its commanding position over the Mesopotamian Plain and its impressive architecture, this place is poised to be one of the most beautiful photo spots on the tour.
Next, we visit Mardin Grand Mosque and Zinciriye Madrasa, then stroll through the narrow stone streets of the historic bazaar, immersing ourselves in Mardin's unique atmosphere.
During our free time in Mardin, we embark on a delightful exploration among telkâri products, stonework, local flavors, and souvenirs. Venturing into the bazaar without a shopping list takes a bit of courage; because from every corner, something else seems to say, "Take me!" 😄
After our tour of Mardin, we head towards the ancient Hasankeyf on the banks of the Tigris River. Following the Ilısu Dam, we see historical monuments such as Zeynel Bey Mausoleum and El Rızk Mosque, which have been relocated to new sites and placed under protection.
We admire Hasankeyf's breathtaking views and listen to the story of this ancient settlement with thousands of years of history from our guide.
Then, we move towards Diyarbakır. We view the historic On Gözlü Bridge over the Tigris River and the Hevsel Gardens, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, panoramically.
During our city tour of Diyarbakır, we explore Diyarbakır Walls, Grand Mosque, Cahit Sıtkı Tarancı House, Four-Legged Minaret, Sülüklü Han, and Deliller Han.
At the end of the day, we transfer to our hotel in Diyarbakır, enjoy dinner, and prepare for the Nemrut adventure the next day.
🌆 A STONE AND HISTORY NOTE FROM İZMİR GEZİ DÜNYASI
We came from Mardin's stone streets to Hasankeyf, and from there to Diyarbakır. Today, history is so intense that even if our guide finishes telling stories, the stones still have more to say! 😄
🏨 ACCOMMODATION
Diyarbakır
After today's explorations of Mardin, Hasankeyf, and Diyarbakır, we stay at our 4★ or 5★ hotel in Diyarbakır. The hotel may vary within the same standard depending on operational conditions and availability.
Day 5: Diyarbakır – Mount Nemrut – Göbekli Tepe – Şanlıurfa
☀️ After enjoying our breakfast, we turn our route today to the peak of the Kingdom of Commagene, Mount Nemrut. Along the way, we see Karakuş Tumulus and Cendere Bridge, one of the magnificent works from the Roman era.
Then, we reach Mount Nemrut, listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Amidst giant god statues, stone heads, and an unparalleled view, we ascend to the pinnacle of history. Taking photos here is almost mandatory; because it’s hardly possible to return with just a single photo saying “I climbed Mount Nemrut!” 😄
After our visit to Mount Nemrut, we head towards Göbeklitepe, one of the oldest temple complexes in human history.
In Göbeklitepe, which has a history of approximately 12,000 years and has prompted a rethinking of history, we explore its T-shaped stone columns and archaeological site guided by our guide. Here, the same question comes to mind: “How did they do this 12,000 years ago?” Even if we can’t find the exact answer, the sense of awe is certain!
After Göbeklitepe, we arrive at Şanlıurfa, the City of Prophets. We visit Balıklıgöl, Ayn-ı Zeliha Lake, Rızvaniye Mosque, and the cave believed to be the birthplace of Prophet Ibrahim.
During our free time in the historic bazaars, we discover isot, local products, and flavors unique to Urfa.
In the evening, we check into our hotel. Guests who wish can join the extra organized dinner program called Sıra Gecesi, completing the night in a fun way with local dishes, music, and folk dances.
🌆 HISTORY NOTE FROM İZMİR GEZİ DÜNYASI
Today, we traveled from Mount Nemrut, over 2,000 meters high, to 12,000-year-old Göbeklitepe. We mixed up the chronology of history a bit, but enjoyed it immensely! 😄
🏨 ACCOMMODATION
Şanlıurfa
After today’s exploration of Mount Nemrut, Göbeklitepe, and Şanlıurfa, we stay overnight at our 4★ or 5★ hotel in Şanlıurfa. The hotel may vary within the same standard depending on operational conditions and availability.
Day 6: Şanlıurfa - Halfeti - Gaziantep
☀️ After our morning breakfast, we set our course for the enchanting Halfeti on the banks of the Euphrates River. As we proceed amidst the landscapes created by the Birecik Dam, we reach one of the most special settlements in the Southeast.
In Halfeti, known for its submerged old settlement, stone houses, and famous black roses, guests who wish can join an extra boat tour.
Guests joining the boat tour glide over the Euphrates, witnessing the region's unique sights, including the minaret of the historic mosque that lies beneath the water. The tranquility of the Euphrates offers a refreshing pause in today's tour pace.
After our enjoyable time in Halfeti, we turn our route to Gaziantep, the capital of gastronomy.
Upon arriving in Gaziantep, we check into our hotel, have dinner, and prepare for the final major discovery day of the tour. Today promises strong flavors as well as stunning views; because coming to Gaziantep and saying "I'll just be watching" is quite ambitious from a gastronomic perspective! 😄
🌆 A PISTACHIO NOTE FROM İZMİR GEZİ DÜNYASI
The peace of the Euphrates in Halfeti, the energy of the cuisine in Gaziantep... Today our eyes rested, while our stomachs began preparations for tomorrow! 😄
🏨 ACCOMMODATION
Gaziantep
After exploring Halfeti, we stay overnight at our 4★ or 5★ hotel in Gaziantep and enjoy dinner. Depending on operational conditions and availability, the hotel may vary within the same standard category.
Day 7: Gaziantep-Izmir
☀️ After our breakfast, we are now on the final day of our tour. But don't worry; Gaziantep is preparing a very strong finale with the message "I'm here too!".
Our first stop is the Zeugma Mosaic Museum, one of the world's most important mosaic museums. Alongside our guide's commentary, we explore valuable artifacts, including the world-famous Gypsy Girl Mosaic, which is among the museum's most striking pieces.
Next, we move to Gaziantep's historic bazaars. We experience the city's traditional atmosphere in the Copper Bazaar, Almacı Market, and Zincirli Bedesten, discovering handmade products and local flavors.
We take a break at the historic Tahmis Coffee House, where interested guests can try the famous menengiç coffee. Then, during our free time, we complete our last shopping for pistachios, baklava, spices, and local products.
Guests who wish can also try Beyran Soup and Katmer, two indispensable dishes of Gaziantep cuisine during this time. So, even on the final day of the tour, the chance of leaving without eating anything is quite low! 😄
At the scheduled time, we depart for Gaziantep Airport, completing our baggage and check-in procedures. With our direct 22:45 flight from Gaziantep to Izmir, we set off towards Izmir.
Arriving at Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport at 00:40, we conclude our seven-day grand exploration journey that stretched from Erzurum to Kars, from Van to Mardin, from Diyarbakır to Şanlıurfa, and finally to Gaziantep.
🌆 A NOTE FROM IZMIR TRAVEL WORLD ABOUT GAZİANTEP
The recipe for the final day is clear: a bit of history, some shopping, a little coffee, and plenty of Gaziantep flavors! If you forgot to leave space in your suitcase, there's only one thing left to do: strategically pack the pistachios. 😄
🌅 A GRAND FAREWELL FROM IZMIR TRAVEL WORLD
We conclude our seven-day grand journey, stretching from the cold of Erzurum to the warm flavors of Gaziantep, from the stones of Ani to the thousands-of-years-old mystery of Göbeklitepe, from the blue of Lake Van to the stone streets of Mardin. Let's meet again on new routes, new flights, and brand-new stories. Because for us, every journey is "A World Full of Discoveries!"
