All about the trip

Visit the second biggest Roman city and see one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – the Temple of Artemis. Take a delightful bath in the Cleopatra's Pool in the outdoor thermal spa of Pamukkale. Enjoy the experience at your own pace on a private tour.

Our driver and guide will pick you up at the harbour of Kusadasi, hotel in Kusadasi, ADB Izmir airport or even at your hotel in Izmir early in the morning.

We begin with a ride through a beautiful lush countryside until we reach the House of Virgin Mary. The mother of Jesus spent her last years here.

We continue to the city of Ephesus. The Temple of Artemis is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and it took 120 years to build with 100 marble pillars supporting its roof.

The impressive facade of the Library of Celsus is a proof of magnificent architecture as well as the open-air theatre built for 25 000 people.

From Ephesus we take a 3-hour ride to Pamukkale.

We explore the ruins of the ancient city of Hierapolis including large necropolis or cemetery with 1 200 graves and many sarcophagi. The remnants of Roman baths show elaborate decoration.

Right on the site of the ancient city of Hierapolis there are thermal springs. The snow-white limestone terraces brimming with warm water have been used as a spa since 2nd century BC.

The temperature of the water ranges from comfortable 35 °C (95 °F) up to 100 °C (212 °F).

Enjoy the luxury of the natural outdoor spa. Have a swim in the Cleopatra's Pool with fragments of ancient marble columns at its bottom.

Once the tour comes to an end its time to head back on the bus and make our way back to your allocated drop off points.
