1. Day: Ephesus Tour From Pamukkale
Ephesus is the best-preserved Roman city in the Mediterranean region, and one of Turkey's top sights. If you want to visit a place where you can really get a feel for what life was like 2000 years ago during the glory-days of Greece and Rome, Ephesus is the place. In terms of ruins, it's better than Rome itself.
Besides the grandeur of this Roman heritage, you will visit the House of Virgin Mary where she is said to have spent the last years of her life.
You will also see one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the Temple of Artemis.

Your Ephesus tour from Pamukkale commences with a visit to the magnificent ruins of Ephesus, an ancient Greek city, and later, a major Roman city near present day Selcuk. It was also one of the Seven Churches of Asia, cited in the Book of Revelation. Today it is the most visited ruins site in Turkey, and the best-preserved site in the Mediterranean.
