Welcome to Atlantis and Sığacık-Teos! Welcome to the headquarters of the Asian Branch of the Artists of Dionysos, which was founded about 2300 years ago! Welcome to Sığacık where Seferihisar meets the sea – Turkey’s pioneer in the worldwide Cittaslow practice which began in the 1980s! Welcome to waters transparent enough for you to see each grain of sand, centuries old olive trees and the land of tortoises aged perhaps 150 years!
This reality calls for us to be more careful about certain matters so that we can maintain Atlantis, a natural habitat, and leave it to future generations.
