The short distance between Urla centre and İskele makes it possible to combine art and history stops in a single half day. This route, which runs from the workshops on Art Street to olive oil culture, and from the ancient traces of Klazomenai to the sunset at İskele, balances walking with time in the car.
Moving between stops without looking for parking keeps the pace of the programme. As visiting hours can change, we recommend checking museum and archaeological site information from official sources.
