Day 1 (Group Ephesus Tour, lunch included)
With an early pick-up from your hotel around 05:00 AM, we will transfer you to Istanbul or Sabiha Gokcen Airport for your flight to Izmir Airport. Our driver will meet you at the airport and drive you to our office.
After some refreshment at our office, we will first drive to the House of the Virgin Mary. The Virgin Mary House was discovered by Sister Anne Catherine Emmerich, a German nun, in the year 1812. Sister Emmerich had detailed visions and, in her sleep, visited Jerusalem where she saw St. John and the Virgin Mary travel from Jerusalem to Ephesus. She recalled seeing a rectangular-shaped stone house that was built by St. John for the Virgin Mary.
After visiting this pilgrimage site, we will drive about 10 minutes to Ephesus Ancient City, one of the biggest excavations in the world. We will visit the Odeon, the Fountain of Trajan, the stream baths of Scholastica, the Hadrian and Domitian Temples, and the impressive Library of Celsius. We will then visit The Grand Theatre, where Saint Paul preached. The theatre was the largest one in ancient times, with a capacity of 24,000 seats. The walk through the Ephesus ruins will last around 2.5 hours, and after that, we will have lunch.
After lunch, we will visit The Artemis Temple, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The final stop will be Sirince Village, just a 15-minute drive away. The village remained a Greek Orthodox Village until the exchange agreement between the Republic of Turkey and Greece in 1924. During this population exchange, Greeks living in Turkey were swapped with Turks living in Greece. The tour will end around 4:30 PM, and we will take you back to your hotel. Overnight accommodation will be in Selcuk.
Day 2 (Group Pamukkale Tour – Flight to Istanbul, breakfast and lunch included)
After breakfast at your hotel in the morning, we will meet you at the hotel around 08:00 AM and drive you to Hierapolis Ancient City for around 2.5 hours. We will then visit the largest Necropolis (cemetery) in Turkey, The Domitian and Byzantium Gates, Main Street, and the theatre with a capacity of 20,000 seats. After seeing the theatre, you'll have some free time to swim in Cleopatra Pool if you would like. An extra 10 Euro entrance fee is required for this pool. With the conclusion of the walk through the ruins of Hierapolis Ancient City, we will arrive at the Travertine terraces.
The travertine pools are very strange formations caused by thermal springs which contain a huge amount of calcium bicarbonate, chalk and limestone. The travertines cascade down the hills naturally and very much resemble a frozen waterfall. The tour will end around 4:00 PM, and we will drive you to Denizli Airport for a flight back to Istanbul. Our driver will meet you at the airport and drive you back to your hotel in the Old City area. Overnight accommodation will be in Sultanahmet.
