Chocolate Box
A journey through the most charming corners of Turkey — culture, history, village life and hidden gems beautifully wrapped together like a little chocolate box.
For Summer 2026, this trip returns as one of the most delightful and varied experiences you can enjoy.
Discover the heart of real Turkey
Chocolate Box takes you off the main tourist routes into places full of soul, tradition and gentle beauty. From ancient cities to picture-perfect villages and peaceful nature stops, this day is designed to awaken all your senses.
Your morning begins in Akyaka
We start with pick-up from your agreed point, followed by a relaxing drive to Akyaka. Our first stop is the famous West Cafe, set beside the calm river flowing through the town. With ducks gliding by and soft breezes drifting across the water, this is the perfect place for a peaceful breakfast. Choose from a traditional Turkish spread or lighter favourites like pancakes, omelettes or a full English breakfast. It is a calm and beautiful beginning to the day.
Stratonikeia – the city of eternal love
After breakfast, we visit Stratonikeia, a remarkable ancient city filled with Roman history, grand structures and stories of gladiators who trained and performed here. Walking through its remains feels like stepping into another time, surrounded by echoes of love, legends and forgotten tales.
A gentle step into village life – Bozüyük
We continue to the charming film-famous village of Bozüyük, where time seems to move a little slower. Enjoy coffee at the iconic village coffee house, explore traditional streets, visit the cultural museum or browse through local markets filled with handmade treats. It is a place full of warmth and authenticity.
A beautiful lunch and hidden garden
Our lunch stop is one of the region’s prettiest restaurants, well known for fresh, local cooking. After your meal, wander the garden shaded by ancient trees or simply relax in the peaceful atmosphere.
Aplangıç – the hidden gem of the day
Next, we head to Aplangıç, a quiet little village loved for its refreshing waters and calm beauty. You can swim, dip your feet in the cool stream or enjoy a drink at one of the cosy cafés or bars. It is a simple, magical moment in rural Turkey.
A peaceful end to your journey
Before returning home, we stop at a beautiful tea garden for a complimentary soft or hot drink. Surrounded by nature, it is the perfect finishing touch to a relaxing day.
What’s included
• Breakfast at West Cafe in Akyaka
• Late lunch at a beautiful local restaurant
