Pamukkale literally means“Cotton Castle” in Turkish. It is a stunning natural site known for its white, terrace-like formations created by calcium deposits. Fed by 17 hot springs, the travertines have been a health retreat for centuries. On top of Pamukkale lies the ancient city of Hierapolis, once home to Greek and Roman civilizations. While visiting, you can explore the travertines, dip in Cleopatra’s Pool, or check out landmarks like the Amphitheater, the Necropolis, and the Temple of Apollo.
Ephesus, nestled in Turkey’s Aegean region, is an ancient city with roots dating back to the 10th century BC. It was a major center in Greek and Roman times and is also mentioned as one of the Seven Churches of Revelation. Don’t miss iconic sites like the Library of Celsus, the Gate of Augustus, the Basilica of St. John, and the Temple of Artemis—a former Wonder of the Ancient World.
In central Turkey, Cappadocia feels like something from a storybook with its otherworldly landscapes and rich history. It is also referenced in ancient Christian texts and is well-known for its Fairy Chimneys, fascinating underground cities, and moonlike landscapes. In Cappadocia, natural wonders and historical mysteries come together to welcome travelers.

For those who love ancient history
I like ancient history so I liked seeing the cities of Ephesus, Prime, and Miletus. Our guide, Güfte, helped paint the picture of the cities in ancient times and give us a better understanding. Our driver, Ogün, was always punctual and drive very safely.

Casa de la virgen, ciudad de Efesos
El recorrido inició puntual. Tuvimos la suerte de hacerlo casi de forma privada. Hugo fue nuestro guía y realmente el mejor guía!!!\nDesde la antigua ciudad de Efesos hasta la casa de la Virgen, todo vale la pena en Kusadasi.\nSin duda la mejor forma es hacerlo con guía y la explicación, de otra forma se pierden los detalles.\nMuchas gracias por organizar el recorrido
