The most magnificent ancient cities of the Aegean Region.
Inviting visitors to follow the footprints of antiquity's most glorious civilizations under the warming winds of the Aegean and the peaceful shade of olive trees, this epic four-day route takes history and archaeology enthusiasts on a fascinating journey through time. The first day begins by relaxing in the spiritual atmosphere of the lush Meryem Ana Tabiat Parkı, proceeding to the glorious Efes Örenyeri, one of the largest trade centers of the ancient world. Fascinated by the massive theater and the Library of Celsus, visitors explore the Agora Örenyeri, the heart of Roman commercial life, and conclude the day at the rich Efes Müzesi, where priceless regional findings are exhibited.
The second day mysteriously begins with a visit to the Klaros Örenyeri, famously known as a prophecy center in antiquity, and continues with the coastal Teos Örenyeri, known as the city of artists dedicated to Dionysus. In the afternoon, after visiting the modern İzmir Arkeoloji Müzesi, which presents the region's history with a chronological feast, the day is completed by seeing the imposing Atatürk Maskı, a symbol of independence marking the city's silhouette with its massive dimensions.
The route of the third day progresses to Pergamon, the capital of one of the most powerful Hellenistic kingdoms. After breathing the mystical air of the imposing Kızıl Avlu, a massive monumental structure drawing attention with its red bricks, the collection of the Bergama Müzesi is thoroughly examined. Then, by climbing the Bergama Akropolü, rising on a steep hill and possessing one of the steepest ancient theaters in the world, the glorious past of the ancient city is viewed from above.
The fourth and final day begins with the discovery of the Stratonikeia Örenyeri, known as the city of love and gladiators, defying time with its marble streets. The tremendous finale of this archaeology feast takes place at the enchanting Kaunos Örenyeri—reached by boats gliding through the reeds and renowned worldwide for its magnificent rock-cut king tombs—ending this epic four-day Aegean adventure unforgettably.
