Day 1 – The Ancient Wonders of Ephesus

The first day of the tour takes you to the legendary Ancient City of Ephesus, one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world and one of Turkey’s most important archaeological treasures.

Walking through the marble streets of this once-powerful trading and cultural centre, guests will discover extraordinary monuments including the world-famous Library of Celsus, the Grand Theatre, the Temple of Hadrian, and ancient Roman baths and temples that have survived for thousands of years.

The tour also includes a visit to the site of the Temple of Artemis, once considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Throughout the day, our professional licensed guides will bring the history of Ephesus to life through fascinating stories, historical details, and archaeological insights into the civilizations that shaped this extraordinary city.

Overnight Stay in Pamukkale

After exploring Ephesus, the journey continues to Pamukkale, where guests will enjoy an overnight stay at a carefully selected 4-star hotel with half-board accommodation.

Guests can relax after the day’s sightseeing, enjoy dinner at the hotel, and experience the peaceful atmosphere of one of Turkey’s most famous thermal regions.

Day 2 – Pamukkale & Hierapolis

The second day is dedicated to exploring the spectacular white travertines of Pamukkale and the ancient spa city of Hierapolis.

Known worldwide as the “Cotton Castle,” Pamukkale is famous for its dazzling white calcium terraces formed by thermal mineral waters flowing down the mountainside for thousands of years. Visitors can walk barefoot across the terraces, enjoy the warm thermal pools, and admire one of the most unique natural landscapes in the world.

Above the travertines lies the Ancient City of Hierapolis, founded over 2,300 years ago as a centre of healing and wellness during the Roman period. The site features remarkably preserved ruins, including the monumental Roman Theatre, ancient baths, temples, city gates, and one of the largest necropolises in Anatolia.

Cleopatra’s Antique Pool

Guests will also have the opportunity to visit Cleopatra’s Antique Pool, one of Pamukkale’s most famous attractions. This naturally heated thermal pool allows visitors to swim among submerged Roman columns in mineral-rich waters believed to have therapeutic properties.

Entrance to Cleopatra’s Pool is optional and not included in the tour price.
