While you are in Istanbul, take advantage of this great opportunity! Join the Pamukkale and Ephesus tour by plane, so you can visit these two amazing cities… full of history and unparalled beauty… in just two days!

Day 1–Pamukkale

Pamukkale is a city which in Turkish literally means ”cotton castle”. You will understand why, when you arrive at the valley of Meander! The restorative qualities of the calcium rich waters of the town have a centuries old reputation! Next stop is the ancient city of Hierapolis, a World Heritage site! An ancient city which according to Stephanus of Byzantium was given this name because of the large number of temples it contained! Hierapolis became a healing centre where doctors used its’ thermal springs as a treatment for their patients. Nowadays the ruins of Hierapolis brilliantly remind us how life was centuries ago… (At the end of the tour, you will be transfered in Selcuk/Kusadasi with an overnight stay)

Day 2–Ephesus

A city that contains the largest collection of Roman ruins in the eastern Mediterranean! During the tour, we will visit the impressive temple of the Greek goddess Artemis, we will take a walk at the Celsus Library and admire the Temple of Hadrian which is one of the best preserved and most beautiful structures. Many more sights, such as the Agora, the Theater, the Odeon, the Trajan Fountain, the Domitianus Temple and the Roman Latrines, will amaze you! We will take a break for lunch and after that we will have the chance to visit the lovely Catholic shrine of Virgin Mary
