Ephesus Tour (Bergama – Pamukkale – Ephesus) – 3 Days
We set off early in the morning.
In the early morning hours, you will be picked up from your hotel for your flight to Izmir and transferred to the airport. After a flight of approximately one hour, we will arrive in Izmir and head towards the ancient city of Pergamon, which carries the traces of history. This impressive city, which reached the peak of its splendor during the Hellenistic era, stands out with its magnificent library established during the Roman period and its rich cultural fabric. Among the ruins that have stood for centuries, the Asklepion and the Acropolis will be visited first. You will have the opportunity to explore not only the panoramic view stretching from the heights of the Acropolis down to the valley but also the striking images overlooking the Acropolis from the Asklepion. Afterwards, we will tour the Great Theater, the Sacred Way, and other important points of the ancient city. We will also see the famous Red Basilica, one of the notable stops of our Pergamon visit, which stands out with its red brickwork. At the end of the day, you will be transferred to your hotel in Kusadasi, where your overnight stay will take place.
After enjoying a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, we will set off towards Pamukkale, with its dazzling white travertines and healing thermal pools. In this unique natural wonder that resembles a castle made of cotton, we will explore the calcium terraces and natural water pools, which take on different hues under the sunlight. Then, in the ancient city of Hierapolis, one of the world's most impressive necropolises, we will wander among the ancient theater, sacred areas, and historical ruins, witnessing the harmony between nature and the past. At the end of the tour, guests will return to their hotel in Kuşadası, where accommodation will continue.
After breakfast at the hotel, we will depart for a full-day tour of Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary. Our first stop will be the impressive 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, where you will have the opportunity to explore its grand theater, the elegant Library of Celsus, monumental fountains, and other structures reflecting ancient life. The final stop of our tour will be the House of the Virgin Mary, peacefully situated on the mountainside in harmony with nature. This modest stone house is considered an important pilgrimage site for Christians and is believed to be where the Virgin Mary spent the last years of her life. After the tour, you will be transferred to Izmir Airport for your return flight.
