Join us for one or two weeks of classes, workshops and philosophy while experiencing the magic and charm of Turkey in your free time. 
Alaçatı is a town on Turkey’s Çeşme Peninsula, on the Aegean Sea. It’s known for its breezy beaches, perfect blue skies, old stone houses and a rich wine-making tradition. It’s the perfect place to wander around the cute, cobbled streets visiting local shops with hand-made goods while taking in the bright pink bougainvillea blooms.
