Çıfıt Island, located in Seferihisar district of Izmir, the pearl of the Aegean Sea, is a treasure waiting to be discovered for nature and history lovers. Known as Myonnesos in ancient times, the island is also known as Çıfıt Castle today. Thanks to the island’s proximity to the land, it is possible to reach on foot with sea shoes.
