2 Days Ephesus and Pamukkale Tour from Istanbul

After an early check-out, your driver will take you from the hotel to the airport for the one-hour flight to Izmir; once there, head to your airline's departure gate. On arrival in Izmir, our representative will meet you and bring you to our office ahead of a full day at Ephesus. You will visit the Temple of Artemis — one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World — the 25,000-seat amphitheatre, the famous Library of Celsus, the Temple of Hadrian and the harbour street of the ancient city, ending at the House of the Virgin Mary, her final home. Afterwards you will be transferred to your hotel.

After breakfast and check-out, your guide will collect you at the set time for a full day at Pamukkale and Hierapolis — about two and a half hours' scenic drive, with a lunch break on arrival. You will explore the gates of ancient Hierapolis, its necropolis and beautiful ancient theatre, and the famous travertines, whose panorama gleams like a snow-covered mountain; there is the chance to swim among the ruins in Cleopatra's pool or visit the Hierapolis Archaeology Museum. At the end of the tour you will be transferred to the airport for your flight back to Istanbul, where your driver will be waiting with your name on a sign to take you to your hotel.
