Full Day Ephesus Tour:
Take the flight from Istanbul to Izmir in the morning.

In the morning section of the tour, you will visit the Ancient City of Ephesus, the best preserved Greco-Roman City in the world.

Day 2 - Didyma, Miletos, Priene (B, L)
Full Day Didyma, Miletos, Priene Tour:
Today we will visit Priene, Miletus, Didyma . Ephesus may be the creme-de-la-creme of the Aegean ruins but Priene, Miletus and Didyma though less frequently visited are still important ancient settlements. Priene occupies a dramatic position overlooking the Meander Valley and plain. Miletus preserves a spectacular theater. And Didyma has a Temple of Apollo vaguely reminiscent of the great temples at Karnak in Egypt. Overnight Selcuk or Kusadasi.

Day 3 - Aphrodisias & Pamukkale / Istanbul (B, L)
Full Day Aphrodisias & Pamukkale Tour:
Early this morning check-out and you will be driven to Aphrodisias, named after Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of Love. Here you will see the Temple of Aphrodite, the monumental Tetra Pylon Gateway, the ancient Gladiator Stadium and the Archaeological Museum. After lunch break, drive inland to Hierapolis Ancient City, which houses Pamukkale ‘’Cotton Castle’’. The travertine terraces at Pamukkale are one of the most spectacular natural wonders we ever have seen from various mineral springs in a vast white cliff side, about 200 m overlooking the plain, calcite-laden waters have dripped down over a series of terraced levels and created a fairyland of bizarre solidified cascades and shell-shaped basins. There will be free time to walk on the terraces (where allowed). With the conclusion of the tour, you will be transferred to airport for your evening flight to Istanbul.
