On the map it seems so far away but in reality you take a flight to Izmir and you find yourself in the diverse landscape of the Aegean region.

Along the trip not only you will find the life of today’s Turkish people and their experiences, you will be able to travel back into the history as far as 3000 years. You will experience the mosaic of ancient life and its footsteps to today’s modern Turkey.
On arrival to Turkey rather then going to the beachside to stay in a luxury hotel, the trip will take you into the cultural and historical heart of the Aegean region. Besides finding out the rich cultural life and amazing nature, you will be able to travel back into the history which will give you the chance to see how much you are still using the habits and the lifestyle of those people who lived on this very land so many centuries ago.
