Firstly, we visit Les Invalides, where the mausoleum of Napoleon, who gave the French Empire its most glorious periods and is known as a military genius, is located, and we receive information from our guide. Afterwards, we move to Concorde Square, which we can describe as the heart of the city, which has hosted important events throughout history and is one of the symbols of the French Revolution. After walking around this impressive square, which brings together the historical and architectural richness of Paris, we go to Palais Garnier - Opeara Building.

According to the rumour, those who walk on the bridge over the lake with their loved ones reach eternal love. We go to Begijnhofa (Beguinage) for another memorable visit of the day.

DAY 5: HOTEL DEPARTURE- ZAANSE SCHANS-SAILORS- VOLENDAM-MARKEN-CHEESE FACTORY-VISAFSLAG- AMSTERDAM- IZMIR FLIGHT-MARMARIS TRANSFER

After breakfast, we take our suitcases and complete our check-out procedures from our hotel. A wonderful programme awaits you on the last day of our tour, each day of which is a different beauty. In order to give you a beautiful last day memory, we turn our route to Zaanse Schans, the town of the Netherlands famous for its windmills, also called the wonderland. Colourful windmills welcome us in Zaanse Schans. We visit the windmill in this town, where we think that our guests, especially those who love taking photos, will capture wonderful views, and we capture magnificent frames from the terrace section. In Zaanse Schans, which we think is one of the most enjoyable places we will visit during the tour, there are still mills that are still actively used. There are mills for mustard production and dye production. After visiting the region with our guide, we go to the old sailor town of Volendam. Here you will have the opportunity to eat northern sea fish. Today, we visit Henri Willig Cheese Factory & Museum to see and experience the production process of the famous cheese of the Netherlands in this charming town, which stands out more with its touristic aspect. In the cheese museum, you can taste dozens of types of cheddar cheese. You will have the opportunity to experience lavender, thyme, honey, chamomile, chamomile, centaury and many other types of cheese. If you wish, you can buy different weights of the cheeses you like the taste of. After our visit to the cheese factory, we take a pleasant walk on the coastal road between the wooden houses built in traditional Dutch architecture and the sea and capture wonderful photo frames of the trip. Then we go to Visafslag, which is also in the town of Volendam. This part of the town resembles a Hollywood film set. We capture pleasant photo frames in unrealistically beautiful landscapes and at the same time witness the historical neighbourhood culture of the Netherlands. We end our pleasant day with these visits and get on our car and move to Amsterdam Airport. We leave Amsterdam with our beautiful memories with the SunExpress- Amsterdam-İzmir (XQ945) flight departing at 19:50.
