Overview

Our two-day program of Ephesus and Pergamon includes two most important cities of Western Anatolia from the Ancient World. The first day of the tour is based on the ancient city of Pergamon, from which the English word “parchment” is derived, which is built on four terraces perched upon a hill overlooking the Pergamon Plain. As one of the most impressive cities of the ancient world; Pergamon’s acropolis is full of temples dedicated to gods and goddesses of Greek and Roman mythology. Temple of Trajan, Zeus Altar’s site which was called “throne of Satan” in Revelation 2:13 and, the steepest theater of the ancient world is also jewelry us with a breathtaking panorama. You will also have the chance to visit the Asclepion, the healing shrine dedicated to the god of medicine Asclepius, which was the most famous healing site in the ancient world.

The second day consists of Ephesus. The Ephesus Tour from Izmir gives us a chance to visit Governmental and commercial agoras (marketplaces), Odeon (council chambers), / Bouleuterion, Latrine (ancient public toilet), Curetes Avenue, Gate of Hercules, Traianus Fountain, the Temple of Hadrianus, Library of Celsius and the grand theater of Ephesus. There is also a possibility for an optional visit to the house of the Virgin Mary which may be consulted by asking your guide.

Insights from a local guide Had a fantastic tour with Erman as our group's guide. I was considering visiting the ancient city by myself, but I'm so glad I decided to take a tour instead. I learned so much about the history of Ephesus and the surrounding region. Erman is personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and always welcomed questions. Overall, it was a well-organized tour that was expertly balanced and paced. This tour is well worth the time and price!

Amazing Ruins, Worth the Trip We were totally happy with our tour, and felt it was good value for money especially if visiting Izmir without a rental car and wanting to make the trip down to Ephesus, which is a truly amazing archaeological site. Erman was a perfect guide, thorough, patient, and friendly.

A magical experience My day trip to Pamukkale was an absolute delight. The surreal beauty of the terraces filled with white travertine pools took my breath away. Walking barefoot in the warm mineral-rich waters was a unique and rejuvenating experience. Exploring the ancient ruins of Hierapolis added a touch of history to the trip. Our guide Esra also provided us with insightful information, making the excursion even more enriching.

Interesting day! Selim was an excellent guide. He pointed out the highlights of Pamukkale and allowed time for photos. We had an hour to either walk in the pools or enter Cleopatra’s baths. After the visit we stopped for a very tasty lunch on the way home. It was a long drive there and back but the mini bus was comfortable and we stopped for restroom breaks every two hours which was appreciated. It made for a very long day (over 12 hours), but it was a very interesting day.

Excellent tour Erman picked us up & dropped us off at our hotel in an air conditioned mini bus as described. There were 4 different parties making up our tour (9 people total), and Erman gave the explanations in Spanish & English, nicely balancing both. Tour was well paced & he took advantage of shady spots whenever possible, which was much needed as it was over 36’C. It is clear that Erman is passionate about sharing his knowledge of the ancient sites in his country. He went above & beyond by offering advice on restaurants and activities in Izmir as well. Thank you for a great day 🙏🏻
