Quiet villages intertwined with nature, converted from stone houses to boutique hotels, alcohol-free, in the oxygen depot Mount Ida.
Adatepe, protected as a conservation area, is a fairytale village with stone houses blending Ottoman and Greek architecture. Drinking tea under the giant plane tree in the village square and walking to the Zeus Altar just above the village to watch the magnificent view of Edremit Gulf are rituals here. Most accommodation facilities in the village are family businesses, alcohol-free, and serve local Aegean flavors with halal food sensitivity.
Yeşilyurt, slightly closer to the sea but still at the foot of the mountain, is one of the regions with the highest oxygen levels in the world. This village among almond and olive trees is especially a 'boutique hotel' paradise. Here you can find stone mansions with pools offering alcohol-free service. These hotels are ideal for conservative couples and families looking for a holiday away from crowds, with only bird sounds and wind. The village breakfast is legendary.
While staying in Mount Ida, you must see Hasanboğuldu and Sütüven Waterfall within the national park. You can have a family picnic in the shade of trees by the icy flowing water and cool off by dipping your feet in the water. The region has Turkey's best trails for trekking and nature hiking. It is a unique opportunity to be alone with nature, contemplate, and relieve the stress of the city.
For conservative families who think of cool mountain air, olive trees, and silence rather than sea and sun when holiday comes to mind, Mount Ida (Kaz Dağları) is a perfect route. Adatepe and Yeşilyurt villages on the border of Çanakkale and Balıkesir stop time with their historical stone architecture and preserved nature. Here, instead of luxury hotels, sincere stone mansions and boutique pensions offering alcohol-free service await you.
Mount Ida is perfect for getting rid of the stress of city life and spending quality time with your family. Waking up to bird sounds in the morning and having breakfast amidst the scents of olives and thyme will renew your soul. You can discover alcohol-free boutique hotels in Adatepe and Yeşilyurt on HalalWorld.com and book a peaceful place in the heart of nature.
