Live this immersive experience in the most iconic, historically rich locations in Turkey. 8 days of excitement and exploration kick off with a warm reception at the airport, where we stay in Izmir to explore the amazing site of the Clock Tower, the historical elevator, and Kadifekale Castle. Not only will we visit the cultural site of the city itself, but there are some wonderful shopping experiences to be had in local traditional bazaars. Other options include day trips to significant natural and historical places, like the ancient city of Hierapolis and Pamukkale with its unique limestone terraces and thermal waters. Places such as the Great Theatre and the Temple of Artemis are like bringing back time for people visiting Ephesus.
