The hike followed the olive road and forest paths, leading to the historic site of Meryemana (House of Virgin Mary), where students explored the area with a professional licensed guide. Afterward, participants traveled by bus to the charming village of Şirince, one of İzmir's most picturesque locations, and enjoyed free time to explore the village, relax and socialize. The event combined physical activity, cultural exploration, and social interaction, creating memorable experiences and opportunities for participants to connect with both the region and each other.
