تور افسوس و پاموکاله از فرودگاه ازمیر – ۳ روز تا استانبول

شامل امروز: ترانسفر و اقامت.

دیدار در فرودگاه، رانندگی به کوشاداسی/سلجوق، بعدازظهر آزاد و یک شب کنار دریا.

انعطاف‌پذیر – فرود در فرودگاه ازمیر. در هر ساعتی از روز اول که فرود آیید، کارکنان ما با تابلوی نام منتظر شما هستند. از آنجا که زمان ورود انعطاف‌پذیر است، هنگام رزرو پرواز ورودی خود تحت فشار نیستید و بخش گردشگری سفر به محض دیدار کارکنان ما آغاز می‌شود. فرودگاه و زمان ورود بسته به موجودی خواهد بود.

پس از ورود – رانندگی به هتل خود در کوشاداسی/سلجوق برای ورود. آغاز با یک شب کنار ساحل، به جای ورود مستقیم به یک تور، سفر را آرام و واقع‌گرایانه نگه می‌دارد و به شما فرصت می‌دهد از خستگی سفر بهبود یابید.

بقیه روز – آزاد در کوشاداسی/سلجوق. در امتداد لبه دریا قدم بزنید، منطقه اطراف هتل را بشناسید یا قبل از دو روز راهنمایی‌شده استراحت کنید. این شروع آسان بخش بزرگی از دلیل این است که سفر شتاب‌زده به نظر نمی‌رسد.

عصر – شب در کوشاداسی/سلجوق اقامت دارید و فردا صبح آماده تور افسس هستید. خوابیدن نزدیک محوطه‌های باستانی روزی آرام‌تر از حرکت مستقیم از فرودگاه به سمت ویرانه‌ها فراهم می‌کند.

Included today: breakfast, lunch, transfers and accommodation.

Breakfast, the drive to Ephesus, guided sightseeing, the return transfer and another night at the same hotel.

09:00 – Pickup after breakfast. Our team collects you at your hotel and takes you to Ephesus for a full guided day. Because you start from Kusadasi/Selcuk, the drive is short and there is no further long airport-type transfer. The day follows a well-structured history program and includes lunch on the way. Pickup time and airport are subject to change.

Ephesus route and briefing

• Ephesus Ancient City: More than 250,000 people lived here at the city's height, making it one of Rome's biggest ports in the east.
• Marble Streets: The main marble road ran from the gates of the upper city all the way to the old harbour.
• The Odeon: Council members met here to argue over the laws and budgets that ran Roman Ephesus.
• The Agora: Every metre of this commercial square was once taken up by stalls selling grain, cloth and pottery.
• The Temple of Hadrian: Its inner relief panels show gods, emperors and myths in finely carved detail.
• The Monumental Fountains: Nymphs, river gods and sea creatures were carved on the stone fronts of the public water monuments.
• The Library of Celsus: Vitrusius Pollio, a Roman architect, gave it double walls to protect the scrolls from damp.
• The Great Amphitheatre: Three steep tiers of marble seats rise above the stage, with wide views across the ruined city.
• The Roman Baths: The vaulted brick arches of the Scholastica Baths still stand tall, showing how big the building once was.
• House of Virgin Mary: In 1967 Pope Paul VI came here, and the popes after him followed.
• Temple of Artemis: All that is left of the city's most famous monument is one rebuilt column standing in a marshy field.

16:00 – Drive back to your Kusadasi/Selcuk hotel. Coming back to the same base keeps things steady and saves you from changing hotels too often, leaving time to rest ahead of the Pamukkale day.

Evening – Another night in Kusadasi/Selcuk. The extra night gives the trip room to breathe before the final day.

Included today: breakfast, lunch, flight and entrance fees.

Breakfast, the inland drive to Pamukkale, guided sightseeing, an airport transfer and an evening flight to Istanbul.

08:00 – Pickup after breakfast and check-out. Our team collects you in Kusadasi/Selcuk and drives you inland to Pamukkale. This longer road leg links the coast with the thermal interior on the last touring day and keeps the evening flight time practical. Pickup time and airport are subject to change.

On the road – A scenic drive towards Denizli and Pamukkale. The inland landscapes feel quite different from the coast at Kusadasi/Selcuk, which suits a trip built to show two sides of western Turkey: the archaeological coast and the thermal hills.

12:00 – Lunch at a local restaurant in the Pamukkale area before the guided visit. The meal balances the day after the drive from Kusadasi/Selcuk and gives a natural break before the white terraces and the ruins of the ancient spa city.

Pamukkale route and briefing

• Pamukkale: The Turkish name means 'Cotton Castle', a perfect description of the cloud-like white formations rising over the valley.
• White Calcium Terraces: No two pools are alike: some are broad and shallow, others narrow with curving calcium rims up to half a metre high.
• Hierapolis Ancient City: From its raised position you look across the Curuksu valley in one direction and over the white terraces in the other.
• The Necropolis: A walk here feels like reading the city backwards: where the town of the living stops, the city of the dead spreads over the slope.
• Bath and Basilica: Once the bath passed to Byzantine Christians, they built an apse into the east wall, the usual sign that a Roman building had become a church.
• Frontinius Gate: It came through several big earthquakes mostly intact, and its lower stone courses are some of the best-preserved parts of the city's perimeter.
• Frontinius Street: Smaller lanes branched off it every so often, in line with the rigid grid Roman planners used across the empire.
• Latrina: The stone seats are worn smooth by centuries of use, proof of very long service.
• Northern Byzantine Gate: The Byzantine walls ran across the north end of the site, closing the gap between the steep hill and the travertine cliffs.
• Fountain of the Tritons: Its reliefs are fine Imperial-period Roman work, made when the city was wealthy enough to spend on decorative public buildings.
• The Temple of Apollon: Large platform blocks and carved column drums still lie on site and show the size of the original temple.
• Cleopatra Antique Thermal Pool: Capitals, columns and other Roman fragments lie on the sandy floor, so swimmers float over an ancient ruin. Entry is paid on site and is not part of the tour.

16:00 – Drive to Denizli Airport. This last connection means no extra night is needed, which suits travellers who must reach Istanbul that evening.

19:30 – Denizli–Istanbul flight. Times may move with the season and with airline availability, though the plan is to get you back on the same day. The departure time can change.

20:20 – Landing in Istanbul. The travel side of the package is now done, and your 3-day western Turkey trip ends at the airport. The arrival airport can vary with airline operations and seasonal schedules, and the landing time depends on availability.
