Adatepe sits at the foot of Mount Ida, where the mountain meets the sea — a special village discovered in recent years by artists, writers and seekers of escape. Beginning at the village square shaded by a 600-year-old plane tree, the tour continues with a short ascent to the Altar of Zeus — known in Greek mythology as the place from which Zeus watched the Trojan War, offering the most panoramic view of the Gulf of Edremit. Wandering through the village's stone streets, learn about the history of traditional olive oil production and modern organic processes at the Adatepe Olive Oil Museum. Visit the local soap workshop, small ceramic shops and boutique cafés. The ideal half-day cultural and nature route for those wanting to capture the spirit of Mount Ida.
