Overview

Begin your tour with a morning flight from Istanbul to Izmir, where you’ll embark on an unforgettable journey to the ancient city of Ephesus. Renowned as one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world, Ephesus will captivate you with its timeless charm. Walk along the Marble Streets, marvel at the grandeur of the Library of Celsus, and take in the impressive Great Theatre, which once hosted 25,000 spectators.

The tour also includes a visit to the Temple of Hadrian and the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Your professional guide will provide fascinating insights into the city’s rich history, from its Roman prominence to its role in early Christianity. After exploring Ephesus, you’ll visit the serene House of Virgin Mary, believed to be where Mary spent her final days.

After a full day of exploration, unwind with an overnight stay in a comfortable hotel in the Pamukkale region.

Day two begins with a visit to the stunning travertine terraces of Pamukkale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Also known as the "Cotton Castle," Pamukkale’s white terraces are a natural wonder filled with thermal waters that cascade down the mountainside. You’ll have free time to walk on these terraces and even dip your feet in the warm, mineral-rich pools.

Next, explore the ancient city of Hierapolis, located near Pamukkale. This archaeological site offers a glimpse into the past with its Roman baths, Necropolis, and a well-preserved theatre. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit Cleopatra’s Pool (entry extra), a thermal pool surrounded by ancient columns, perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Conclude your tour with a flight back to Istanbul in the evening, filled with unforgettable memories of Turkey’s historical and natural treasures.
