Itinerary Details

Day 1 (Private Pamukkale Tour, lunch included)

We will begin with an early pick-up from your hotel at approximately 05:00am, and transfer you to either Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gokcen Airport for your flight to Denizli Airport. Upon arrival, our driver will be waiting for you at the airport and will take you to our office.

After a brief refreshment at our office, we will take you to Hierapolis Ancient City. Our first stop will be the largest Necropolis (cemetery) in Turkey, followed by the Domitian and Byzantium Gates, Main Street, and the theatre with a seating capacity of 20,000. After exploring the theatre, you will have some free time to swim in the Cleopatra Pool if you wish. Please note that there is an additional 10 Euro entrance fee for the pool. Once we conclude our walk through the ruins of Hierapolis, we will arrive at the stunning Travertine terraces.

The travertine pools are fascinating natural formations created by thermal springs rich in calcium bicarbonate, chalk, and limestone. These travertines flow down the hillsides naturally, creating an effect that closely resembles a frozen waterfall. The tour will conclude around 4:30pm, after which we will drive you back to your hotel. Overnight accommodation will be in Pamukkale.

Day 2 (Private Laodicea & Aphrodisias Tour, Flight to Istanbul lunch included)

The ancient city of Laodicea holds great importance due to its connections with key biblical events and has served as a holy pilgrimage site since the 4th century CE. It is mentioned in the Bible as one of the Seven Churches of Revelation. Recognized for its historical and cultural value, the Archaeological Site of Laodicea was added to the UNESCO Tentative List in 2013 and is considered one of Turkey’s most significant global heritage landmarks.

Laodicea, known as the second largest ancient city in Turkey after Ephesus, is also where the remarkable discovery of the head of the God Emperor Augustus statue was made. This statue head is exceptionally rare, with the only other known example currently housed in the Vatican Museum.

Aphrodisias was an ancient Greek city devoted to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, situated in the Karacasu district of Aydin. The city is located near a significant marble quarry, which contributed to its fame during the Roman period. Many of the exquisite sculptures from that era have remained well-preserved and are now showcased in the Aphrodisias Museum. Notable landmarks in the city include the Temple of Aphrodite, the Bouleuterion (council house), the Sebasteion, and the Stadium.

Our day will begin with a pick-up from your hotel at around 08:30, followed by a drive to the ancient city of Laodicea. During our visit, we will explore remarkable landmarks such as the Temple of Zeus, the Theater, the Church, Monumental Fountain, Odeon, Imperial Cult structures, Caracalla Fountain, Syria Avenue, the Gymnasium, and the Stadium. After completing our tour of Laodicea, we will continue to Aphrodisias Ancient City, stopping for lunch before visiting this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Following lunch, we will explore what is considered one of the most visually stunning ancient cities in Turkey: Aphrodisias. Renowned in antiquity for its exceptional sculptures, the city showcases outstanding artistry that still captivates visitors today. Our tour will include the Sebasteion, the Theater, the Agora, Tiberius Portico, Hadrian Baths, Bishop’s Palace, Temple of Aphrodite, the Odeon, the Stadium, the Tetraphylon, and the Aphrodisias Museum. The tour will conclude around 4:00pm, after which we will transfer you to Denizli Airport for your return flight to Istanbul.
