On the first day, we start by walking through the ancient streets of İzmir's world-famous heritage site, Efes Örenyeri. We then visit Bergama Müzesi viewing archaeological finds, and explore the magnificent Bergama Akropolü, established on a high hill to trace the Pergamon kingdom. On the second day, we head towards Aydın, exploring the impressive historical texture of Priene Örenyeri, notable for its Hellenistic grid-planned structure, and Milet Örenyeri, an important ancient port city that served as a center of philosophy. On the third day, after touring Aphrodisias Örenyeri, famous for its grand marble structures and sculpture school, we transition to the green nature of Muğla. We discover the remains of Kaunos Örenyeri, accompanied by the view of the Dalyan Kaunos Kaya Mezarları carved directly into the high cliffs.
On the fourth day, after refreshing ourselves in the cooling waters of the dramatic Saklıkent canyon, we continue our historical discoveries by visiting Tlos Örenyeri and Letoon Örenyeri, significant ancient settlements of the Lycia region. On the fifth day, we tour the halls of the Bodrum Sualtı Arkeoloji Müzesi, home to an extraordinary collection of sunken artifacts. We then watch the sunset among the columns of Apollon Tapınağı and Knidos Örenyeri, located where the Aegean and Mediterranean seas meet. On the final day of this rewarding tour, we travel to Denizli to relieve our fatigue in the thermal waters of the pure white Pamukkale Travertenleri. We gracefully complete this extraordinary journey by exploring the archaeological heritage of Hierapolis Örenyeri located right next to it.
