Overview

This exhilarating tour from Istanbul offers an incredible opportunity to explore two of Turkey's most famous sites: Ephesus and Pamukkale. With a carefully crafted itinerary, you’ll travel by plane to maximize your sightseeing, taking in ancient ruins and natural wonders without wasting any time. From the mesmerizing ancient city of Ephesus, home to the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, to the breathtaking terraces of Pamukkale's cotton castle, this tour ensures that you experience the best of Turkey in just one day.


Your journey begins in Ephesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that once stood as a thriving metropolis in ancient times. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by your expert guide, who will lead you through the fascinating ruins. The highlight of your visit to Ephesus is the massive and well-preserved Library of Celsus, once one of the largest libraries in the ancient world. You’ll also explore the Great Theatre, an impressive amphitheater that could seat over 25,000 spectators in its prime, and the grand Temple of Artemis.

As you walk through the ancient streets of Ephesus, your guide will provide fascinating insights into the history of the city, from its early days as a Greek colony to its role in the Roman Empire. The historical richness of Ephesus is a must-see for anyone interested in ancient civilizations.


Next, you’ll fly to Pamukkale, one of Turkey's most unique and natural wonders. Known as the "Cotton Castle" because of its stunning white limestone terraces formed by thermal waters, Pamukkale is a place of pure enchantment. You will be able to walk on the terraces, take a dip in the warm mineral-rich waters, and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscapes.

Pamukkale’s beauty is also enhanced by the ancient ruins of Hierapolis, a Roman spa city that once attracted visitors for its healing waters. You will have the opportunity to explore the ruins of the ancient baths, necropolis, and the well-preserved Roman theater. The combination of the natural wonders and historical ruins makes Pamukkale a photographer’s paradise, offering countless opportunities to capture the essence of Turkey’s beauty.


The tour is designed to be as comfortable as possible, with a flight between Istanbul and the tour sites ensuring that you maximize your time exploring rather than spending it traveling. The experienced, multilingual guides are experts in their fields and will offer deep insights into the sites you visit. You will be able to relax and enjoy the tour without worrying about logistics, as all transfers.
