Planaterra Project

G Adventures invests in at least one project in each country to support underrepresented populations, typically in the form of female run cooperatives. We stopped by the çöp(m)adam handicraft in Ayvalik, a coastal town along our way.

All products were made out of recycled goods with all proceeds going directly to support the local women. This particular workshop has, over time, contributed to over 500 women who have been part of the project. I didn’t take any pics, but did drop some coin to purchase a few items to support their work.

While in the area, we walked the cool streets and visited a mosque that was a Greek Orthodox Church before the Greek Population Exchange that saw the Greek residents relocate to modern day Greece.Läs mer
