The Magnificent Ephesus

Activities & Experiences

• Dalyan, Tombs of Caunos

  • What could be more relaxing than surrounding yourself with natural beauty on a Dalyan River Cruise? Smooth on the anti-aging clay during a stop at the mud baths before adding a little history and culture to the mix as you glide past Lycian King tombs carved into the cliffs more than 2,500 years ago. Visit the clean waters and natural beauty of Iztuzu Beach, also known as "Turtle Beach", which is renowned for its conservation of sea turtles.

• Pamukkale Travertines and Hot Springs

  • Where else in the world can visitors explore picturesque travertine formations, built up over the millennia from limestone deposited by the abundant hot springs, and the colonnaded streets, temples, bath houses, necropolis, and theatre of the remains of an idyllically located Greek-Roman spa city, Hierapolis? Both are included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. You can even bathe, as the Romans once did, in the warm (36°C), mineral-rich waters of Cleopatra’s Pool, among the submerged columns of great antiquity.

• Şirince

  • As the world was shaken by Mayan Apocalypse Predictions on 21 December 2012, this picture-perfect village, which prospered in the 15^th century when Ephesus was abandoned, became a popular destination once again as people flocked there as a safe haven from their doomed future! The narrow, charming alleyways with cobblestones connecting the cottages take you back in time before automobiles and modern industry to buy homemade products from local artisans.

• The Didyma-Priene-Miletus Triangle

  • In ancient times Didyma was the famous site of the Temple of Apollo, where oracles revealed the future. Didyma was not a city, but a place of worship dedicated to Artemis, the twin sister of Apollo, hence the name which means “twins” in ancient Greek. Priene is considered to be the most spectacular example of an almost entirely preserved ancient city, picturesquely located on the slopes of Mykale mountain and providing a fabulous viewpoint over the plain where the river Meander winds its way to the Aegean Sea.
