## Tour Program

### 🚙 Day 1: Safari to the Summit of Fresh Air: Mount Ida & Şahindere Glass Terrace 🌲

📍 At 8:30 a.m., we set off from our designated meeting point in Dikili, embarking on an adventure into the heart of nature. After a pleasant journey of approximately 1.5 hours, we arrive in Akçay and settle into the special Land Rover 4x4 jeeps waiting for us. We begin an exhilarating climb toward the legendary “Mount Ida” of antiquity and the untouched peaks of the Kaz Mountains. Leaving behind the authentic charm of Doyran Village, we enter the enchanting boundaries of the National Park. ⛰️

🦅 Our first stop is the Şahindere Glass Terrace, at an elevation of 836 meters, where adrenaline meets beauty! You’ll enjoy the privilege of gazing down at endless pine forests stretching beneath your feet and the Gulf of Edremit, where green meets blue. Then, our safari route, with giant pine trees forming a natural corridor, takes us to the peaceful Dereçatı Ponds. 💧 Here, guests can choose to take a refreshing forest walk with our guide or unwind to the tranquil sound of the water.

🍃 Continuing along our route, we reach Şahindere Canyon, which rivals the Alps as one of the world’s richest oxygen reserves. After an invigorating nature walk through the canyon and a leisurely lunch break surrounded by nature, we begin our return journey, accompanied by the scents of endemic plants native to the Kaz Mountains. 🌅 With views of the crimson sunset over the gulf, we arrive in Akçay, then begin our journey back to Dikili by vehicle. We reach Dikili in the evening, bringing this exceptional nature and safari experience to a close.
