- Day 2
A cotton castle, a hillside of tombs, and an ancient sculpture school....there is never a day in Turkey that you are short of eclectic sites to see!
Sites you’ll see today
*Pammukale means cotton castle in Turkish. It is the result of limestone formations built over thousands of years. Warm calcium rich mineral water flowed over the cliffs and as it cooled it deposited the calcium into the formations that are seen today. Pammukale is now a world heritage site.
*Hierapolis was founded as a healing care centre in 190 BC, taking advantage of the mineral
waters in the area. It was one of the most important intellectual, artistic, religious and commercial centres of the Roman Empire.
*In the afternoon you will have free time at your hotel to relax in it’s natural and thermal spring waters that are used in it’s pools....or perhaps you will treat yourself to a mud bath, massage or manicure! , Overnight stay in Pamukkale

- Day 3
After breakfast we will depart from Pamukkale and drive towards to Afrodisias ( 1 hour 20 minutes drive ) Sites you'll see today
*Afrodisias was named after Aphrodite, the goddess of love, fertility, and nature. It was a famous site for the cult worship of Aphrodite. Besides the fame of the cult of Aphrodite, the settlement was famous for its school of sculpture. Nearby marble supplies, as well as famous scholars, attracted students to its school and created a demand for its work throughout the Roman Empire. As a result an amazing collection of quality sculpture has been found. Today Aphrodisias is a wonderful site to explore and one your favorites places will probably be the oval shaped 30,000 seat stadium. As you sit down and look at the field you can almost hear the ancient roar of the crowd as they watched chariot races or gladiators. You can also visit the Tetrapylon, the Bishop’s Palace, the city baths, and of course what would an ancient city be without a theatre. This one comes complete with individually labeled seats. After visiting Afrodisias we will transfer you to Izmir Airport and will put you on a hour flight back to Istanbul ( We can always organise a transfer for any available destination, contact us for more informations )

Once you arrive in Istanbul, we will transfer you to your hotel in Sultanahmet or in Taksim area.
