Discover the Riches of Ephesus and Pamukkale

Ephesus Ancient City
Ephesus is an absolute marvel, a treasure trove of ancient wonders that will leave you spellbound. Envision walking through the magnificent ruins of this ancient city, where history comes to life with every step. The Hadrian Temple stands as a breathtaking testament to Roman architecture, with its intricately carved columns and stunning facade. Just a short walk away, the grandeur of the Antique Theater awaits, where you can almost hear the echoes of ancient performances and feel the excitement of the crowds that once gathered there. And don't miss the awe-inspiring House of the Virgin Mary, a serene sanctuary believed to be the final resting place of Mary, mother of Jesus. Ephesus is not just a destination; it's an unforgettable journey through time that will captivate your imagination and stir your soul!

Pamukkale Travertines and Calcium Pools
Pamukkale, meaning "Cotton Castle," is a natural wonder designated as a UNESCO Heritage Site in 1988. The stunning white calcium cliffs and beautiful turquoise pools are truly a sight to behold. It's easy to understand why when you arrive; it feels like stepping into an alien landscape. Don't leave Pamukkale without taking a healing dip in the vibrant waters of Cleopatra’s Pool. This sacred spring offers a swimming experience like no other, with a stunning collection of ancient columns and column capitals lying at the bottom of the crystal-clear pool, a striking reminder of the pool’s venerable heritage.

Hierapolis Ancient Site and Archaeological Museum
After exploring the terraces, a short walk will bring you to the city of Hierapolis, also known as the 'Sacred City.' Just outside the main entrance lies the Necropolis, containing over 1,200 tombs and sarcophagi for people who wished to be buried here. Among these tombs, you'll find the Martyrium, built on the spot where Saint Philip is believed to have been martyred in AD 80. The proximity of the hot springs and steaming fissures led people to believe they eased the journey to the Underworld. The Baths of Hierapolis, sourced from these springs, were particularly popular among vacationing Romans. Dominating Hierapolis's landscape, the Great Theatre, carved into the hillside, is a massive and impressive structure that is not to be missed.
