Istanbul to Izmir: We’ll pick you up from your Istanbul hotel early in the morning for your flight to Izmir. Upon arrival, our team will meet you at the airport and drive you to Selcuk to begin the adventure.
Ancient Ephesus: We spend the morning in the heart of Ephesus. You’ll see the stunning Celsus Library, the Grand Theater, and the Odeon. Walking through these marble streets feels like stepping back 2,000 years. We also include a visit to the Ephesus Experience Museum for a modern look at the city’s past.
Sacred Sites: We’ll visit the House of the Virgin Mary, located on the slopes of Bulbul Mountain, and see the remains of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Overnight in Kusadasi: After the tour and a local lunch, we’ll drive you to Kusadasi for a relaxing evening and an overnight stay at a 4-star hotel.
The Scenic Drive: After breakfast, we’ll pick you up for a 3-hour drive through the countryside toward Pamukkale.
Hierapolis Ancient City: We explore the vast Necropolis, the Roman Baths, and the Theater. You’ll learn how the ancients used these thermal springs for healing and see the impressive Temple of Apollo.
Cleopatra’s Pool & The Terraces: You’ll have time at the famous Antique Pool, where you can swim among fallen Roman columns. Afterward, we head to the white travertines. You can take your shoes off and walk through the warm calcium pools, enjoying the views and taking photos of the landscape.
Return to Istanbul: At the end of the day, we’ll drive you to Denizli Cardak Airport for your flight back to Istanbul. Our team will be waiting there to transfer you safely back to your hotel.
