We Start Early in the Morning.
Your flight to Izmir, scheduled for early morning, will include pickup from your hotel and transfer to the airport. After a flight of approximately one hour, we will arrive in Izmir. Then, we will set off to explore the ancient city of Pergamon, which reached great prominence during the Hellenistic period. Known for its cultural heritage, this city is famous for its vast library built with Roman bricks and its magnificent monuments that have stood for centuries. Afterwards, we will visit Asklepion, where parchment was invented, and the Acropolis. From the Acropolis, you can enjoy views of the valley, while from Asklepion you can admire the impressive sight stretching toward the Acropolis. Later, we will tour the Odeon, the Sacred Way, and other important sites in the area. Here, you will also see the famous Red Basilica, known for its striking red brick construction. At the end of the day, you will be transferred to your hotel in Kusadasi and spend the night there.
After enjoying a delicious breakfast at the hotel, we will head towards central Pamukkale to explore the spa areas, pools, and travertine terraces of this unique natural wonder known as Cotton Castle. This name truly suits the place, as its bright and eye-catching white calcified terraces resemble a castle made of cotton. In this area, we will experience both natural and historical beauty while spending time in the ancient city of Hierapolis, which is home to one of the largest and most impressive necropolises in the world. After the tour, you will return to your hotel in Kuşadası and spend the night there.
After breakfast at the hotel, we will depart for an extraordinary day filled with ancient cities. Our first stop will be Priene, one of the most magnificent of the ancient Ionian cities of its time. This city, considered sacred by the ancient Greeks, was home to the important Temple of Athena. Next, we will proceed to Milet, known for its grand theater and the Byzantine Castle situated on the hill behind it. Here, you will have the opportunity to see the impressive view of the scattered ruins. Afterwards, we will visit Didyma, where the colossal Temple of Apollo awaits you. You will also see the large, broken head of Medusa that fell from the frieze in ancient times. At the end of the tour, we will return to your hotel for another night's stay.
After breakfast at the hotel, we will depart for a full-day tour of Ephesus and a visit to the House of the Virgin Mary. Our first stop will be the ruins of the Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Next, we will proceed to the Ancient City of Ephesus, which dates back to very ancient times and houses some of the best-preserved theaters, libraries, fountains, and structures in the world. Our next destination will be the House of the Virgin Mary, nestled in a lush green area at the mountain's summit. This site is considered an important pilgrimage center by Christians, and there is a belief that the Virgin Mary spent her final years in this small stone cottage. Upon completion of the tour, we will transfer you to Izmir International Airport for your return.

We did both tours back to back and had no regrets. Our three-generation family was very satisfied.
Red Valley and Cavusin village were beautiful. The lunch break was a bit long but the food was tasty.
Cappadocia was my dream destination and with both Blue and Red tours we saw every corner. Our guide spoke excellent English.
The Red Tour exceeded my expectations. Goreme open air museum is stunning. Lunch was also very delicious.
We joined both the Blue and Red tours. Two amazing days with incredible scenery. Organization was flawless and the pace was perfect.
