At 07:30 in the morning, we depart from Bostanlı and 08:00 Bornova metro routes towards Bayındır, which is frequently mentioned with its ornamental plant cultivation. After a short breakfast break on the road, a pleasant walk awaits us on a approximately 5 km track from Bayındır to Turan village. At the end of the walk, which will take approximately 2 hours, we arrive at Turan village. We have lunch at a local business in the village and drive to the garden where we will harvest.

Are you here? Let's take a walk in nature and get to know a magnificent ancient city more closely!

Aigai, located in the north of Izmir, at the foot of Yunt Mountain, is the most intact ancient city of the entire Aiolis region. Aigai, the hidden treasure of Yunt Mountain, rising side by side with Dumanlı Mountain, is the only ancient city without a port, built on a volcanic hill at an altitude of 360m, bearing the name "Aegean".

First, we will visit the ancient city step by step and then follow the King's road to reach the ruins of the temple of Apollo. Here, we will have a picnic after boiling our water and brewing our tea and coffee on the edge of Kocadere.

After the lunch break, we will return to Köseler village via the same road and end our walk.
