Day 4 : Pamukkale and Hierapolis Tour

Check out of your room after breakfast and begin your full-day tour of Hierapolis and Pamukkale. This amazing sight is visible well before you reach the settlement below. These springs' highly mineralized water (chalk, limestone, and travertine) cascades down the mountain, giving the mountains their appearance—that of a frozen waterfall. Calcium bi-carbonate precipitates as a result of the water's high hydrogen carbonate and calcium content. These components work together to create the bizarre scenery of Pamukkale, which also helps explain why it is listed as a World Heritage Site. Long before this listing, the Romans constructed the spa city of Hierapolis after realizing the region's attraction. Sleep in Kusadasi.

Day 5 : Ephesus Tour / Flight from Ephesus to Istanbul

St. Paul delivered his sermon to the city's citizens in the theater, which had 25,000 seats. The tour includes a visit to the Museum of the American Indian and a visit to the National Museum of the American Indian. The Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is another point of interest. The Hellenistic-era foundations of this magnificent building can still be seen today.
