Istanbul Pamukkale Ephesus Tour is your chance to take to the skies in more ways than one. This fabulous two day tour incorporates a flight from Istanbul to nearby Denizli, from where you will be transferred by coach to the town of Pamukkale (Cotton Castle) and the home of the stunning white rock formations of calcified water, cascading into sky blue pools of water, down the mountainside.
This and the ancient metropolis of Hierapolis, with its streets and walls of antiquity still standing at the top of the travertines will leave you feeling like you have been flown to another world! You can bathe in Cleopatra’s Pool if you wish, and as if this history wasnt’t enough that is only Day 1. The early evening sees you transferred to the resort of Kusadasi and your overnight hotel.
Day 2 sees you waking up in Kusadasi and taking a short transfer to the grand antique city of Ephesus. The second largest city of the Roman Empire still holds sway with tourists to this day. Walk the ancient streets and see the library of Celsius (its the one you see on your paper money), with its magnificent Roman amphitheatre and whole streets, intact for your perusal, this is an historian’s dream.
With the Temple of Artemis on the ouskirts of Ephesus (one of the seven wonders of the ancient world) and the house where evidence points to the Virgin Mary spending the rest of her days after the cruxifixion, there is so much to see.
