What you'll experience
Battlefield memory, white thermal terraces, and Roman marble define this 3 Days Gallipoli, Pamukkale and Ephesus Tour Package from Istanbul. The route starts with the World War I sites of Gallipoli, continues overnight toward the Aegean for Pamukkale, and finishes with the ancient streets of Ephesus before flying back to Istanbul. Hotels, guided tours, transfers, lunches, entrance fees, intercity bus travel, and the return domestic flight are arranged in advance.
On the peninsula the guide covers ANZAC Cove, the Mehmetcik Memorial, Lone Pine, The Nek and the New Zealand memorial at Chunuk Bair. Free time follows the Cleopatra Antique Pool at Hierapolis, and the closing day pairs the Temple of Artemis with the House of the Virgin Mary before the flight from Izmir.
