The tour starts at around 10:30 at the meeting point in the region and ends at around 20:00. It suits teams of 8-35 who want to experience nature and local culture on the same day. ### What is in the programme? The day opens with a forest walk to the Hasanboğuldu Waterfall near Edremit or the Mıhlı Waterfall at Yeşilvadi. The group then moves on to Adatepe village in the Ayvacık district, where stone houses, narrow lanes and the village coffee house show the region's old settlement fabric. At the Tahtakuşlar Ethnography Museum, Yörük and Turkmen traditions, textiles and objects from nomadic life are examined. Lunch features herb dishes cooked in olive oil and local cheeses. In the afternoon an olive oil tasting workshop is held at a boutique producer, comparing the taste of different harvests and varieties. Time and interest permitting, the group goes up to Assos at Behramkale to take in the view from the Temple of Athena across to the island of Lesbos. ### Highlights - A short walk of moderate difficulty through forest to a waterfall - The stone houses of Adatepe and the Tahtakuşlar Ethnography Museum - An olive oil tasting workshop at a boutique producer - An optional extension to Assos and the Temple of Athena ### Who Is It For?
