The rest of the day is yours to enjoy at leisure—walk along the promenade, sip Turkish coffee with a view, and prepare for two unforgettable days ahead.
The next morning, your journey into history begins. In Ephesus, you’ll walk on ancient stone streets, visit the awe-inspiring Library of Celsus, and stand in one of the largest Roman theatres of the ancient world. You’ll explore sacred spaces like the House of Virgin Mary and admire the Seljuk-era Isa Bey Mosque.

You’ll walk barefoot across glistening travertines, feel the warmth of thermal waters, and explore the ruins of Hierapolis—an ancient spa city built atop these natural terraces. Swim where Cleopatra once bathed, and relax in the same waters Romans once believed to be healing.

An essential Turkey trip... This was a wonderful part of our Turkey experience with my best friends. Our guide Abdullah gave detailed explanations of all the historical wonders that we saw, as well as giving us an insight into the everyday life of a modern Turk. The tour bus was very comfortable, the other 6 people on our tour were great company, the accommodation was good. we did not have to worry about anything on the tours. we were picked up on time and delivered back to our accommodation in Istanbul. We organized the trip online. It was surprising how cheap it was and fortunately, it was a winner.
