A small-group meets in Sığacık at the old harbor, boards a short bus that threads the Teos forest, and steps out where stone grades into scrub and sea-scented wind. The path opens onto the ruins of Teos: low walls, an eroded theatre bowl and scattered column drums that hint at a once-busy Ionian port. Later the group climbs to Sığacık Castle’s ramparts, where the Aegean spreads like a silver promise and fishing boats stitch the horizon.
