VILLAGE & VINEYARD TOUR (7 hour Guided Tour)

The countryside of Bodrum Peninsula sets a complete contrast to the bouncing tourist resorts along the shore, laden with numerous hotels, world-famous clubs/bars and jazzy shops. Meet your tour guide to drive through the hinterland and discover the rural beauties and friendly locals. Your first stop on the way is a local olive oil farm. As in many Mediterranean communities, olive growing and harvesting is a way of life around Bodrum. Life goes around looking after the olive trees, harvesting them and finally getting the “liquid gold” after the year’s hard work. Enjoy tasting brand-new aromas of olive oil and try to find out the methods of pressing it. Next, take a short journey among the pine forests and visit a local village where you will be warmly welcomed by the chief of the village. Take a walk around rustic houses and hovels, running chickens and lazy cows, have a natter with the residents. Enjoy every single savour of traditional Turkish cuisine at lunch and feel the hospitality of locals. See how they are rightfully proud of their authentic Milas carpets and rugs woven in its villages and hamlets by visiting their warehouse where you can simply understand this art in a short workshop. Head to the final destination of the day and learn how to make the perfect wine and food pairings at a local Vineyard during the scenic sunset. Begin with the tour of the cellar on arrival then raise a glass of Zinfandel to greet the day goes by. Make sure you try all varieties of their local wines with the assist of a delicates cheese plate
