In the evening, we move towards Şirince from the designated stops.
After arriving in Şirince village, we enjoy our local breakfast. Following breakfast, we take a pleasant walk through the narrow cobblestone streets and then ascend Bülbül Dağı to visit the House of the Virgin Mary, considered sacred for centuries. After visiting the Baptism Well shaped like a keyhole, the Holy Fountains, and the House of the Virgin Mary, we proceed to Ephesus Ancient City, one of the most important centers of antiquity. Within the city, we tour ruins including the Odeon, Temple of Domitian, Hadrian's Gate, Trajan's Fountain, Library of Celsus, Kitchen, Toilets, Great Theatre, Great Harbor, Heracles Gate, Agora, Nike Statue, Gymnasium, City Walls, Necropolis, and Curetes Street, before taking a break for lunch. Leaving Ephesus, we stop briefly at the Seven Sleepers for rest and tea. Then, we view the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, panoramically. Afterwards, we complete our visits to İsa Bey Mosque and St. John Church, then go to a tile workshop to learn about the production process. At the end of the day, we check into our hotel in Kuşadası. Dinner and overnight stay are at our hotel.
After breakfast at the hotel, we head towards Pamukkale, where we have the opportunity to walk on the white travertines formed over millions of years. Afterwards, we visit the ancient city of Hierapolis located right above the travertines. After a lunch break, we begin our journey back to Istanbul, arriving in the evening and bidding farewell to our guests until our next trip.
