Continue your journey with a visit to the ancient city of Ephesus, one of the best-preserved archaeological sites of the Eastern Mediterranean. In the 1st century AD, it was the second-largest city in the world after Rome, with a population of over 250,000. Walking through its marble streets, you will see remarkable monuments such as the Library of Celsus, once the third-largest library of antiquity, and the Grand Theatre, the largest of its kind in Asia Minor, which could seat 25,000 spectators.
The tour then takes you to the remains of the Temple of Artemis, once one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Although only a few columns remain today, its significance as a major place of worship dedicated to the goddess Artemis made Ephesus a prominent pilgrimage center in ancient times.
After the visits, return to your hotel in Kusadasi. Overnight in Kusadasi.
Day 3 : Pamukkale Tour / Flight to Istanbul (Breakfast + Lunch)

After breakfast at the hotel, check out and meet your guide at the scheduled pick-up time for a full-day tour. Begin with a visit to Pamukkale, often described as the “Cotton Castle” and known as one of nature’s true wonders. Since ancient times, travelers have come here to bathe in the thermal springs, believed to have curative properties, making Pamukkale one of the earliest health centers in the world. The dazzling white travertine terraces, formed by mineral-rich waters flowing at 35°C, are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Your tour continues with the ancient city of Hierapolis, once a thriving Roman spa settlement. The site is home to the largest Necropolis in Anatolia, with more than 1,200 tombs, and features impressive remains such as a theatre, temples, and monumental gates. One of the highlights is the Sacred Pool, where warm thermal waters cover sunken marble columns and ancient relics, creating a unique swimming experience.
