Ephesus & Pamukkale (1 night/2 days)

A trip to Ephesus, an important city of antiquity, is one of the highlights of any visit to Turkey. The city, with its many splendid buildings including the library of Celsus, was dedicated to Artemis whose temple was one of the seven wonders of the world.
You will travel cross country to Pamukkale, and stay overnight. Dinner is served in your hotel, which boasts a large swimming pool as well as a thermal pool, and a belly dance show is provided for your entertainment. A guided tour of Pamukkale and Hieropolis is provided on the second day.

Dalyan (Turtle Beach)

On route to Dalyan the tour stops off at the luxurious resort of Gocek for a look around, pausing to admire the beautiful boats moored in this important mediterranean yacht harbour. Once at Dalyan you board your boat and sail along the river, passing the ancient harbour city of Caunos with its unique sulphur pools for a mud bath. Lunch is served by the riverside (one of your choices is the local fresh fish, delicious). You finish the day with some free time on the sandy beach. This beach is one of the last breeding grounds of loggerhead turtles in the world. A nice relaxing end to a picturesque day.

Saklikent, Tlos and Yakapark

Climb the ruins of ancient Tlos and view the breathtaking vista presented by the fertile plains that stretch out beneath you for miles around, on a clear day you'll get some great snapshots. Then stop for a break in the beautiful water gardens of the Yakapark trout farm.
Lunch is freshly cooked and served by the river at Saklikent before we start to explore the gorge. To find out a little more about Saklikent (and Tlos) click here.
