Itinerary
This full day tour begins early in the morning. On a prescheduled time, a modern and fully air conditioned bus will pick you up from your place of accommodation in Izmir. For the purposes of this tour, an assigned tour guide will be with you. The guide will let you know important details about the sights and answer questions you might have.
As the road trip to Pamukkale takes approximately 3 hours. You will have a short comfort break on the way. There is a local cafeteria in the facility where you can buy some breakfast for your self. The breakfast is not included in the price so feel free to enjoy anything you want and get the energy you need for the day.
Pamukkale forms a picture-perfect backdrop that has a long history. Among the most notable spots to visit is the infamous Pamukkale Travertines. This mountain is made of limestone and has a charming white colour. The terraces are filled with water from the nearby thermal springs. The area is famous for the existence of thermal springs, so if you are interested you may visit the Cleopatra’s Pool, an antique thermal spring, and swim at an extra cost. Except from the natural wonders, in Pamukkale there is also an ancient city, called Hierapolis. The settlement used to be an important spiritual hub during antiquity and there, you can observe many interesting ruins. You will have around 3 hours free time in Pamukkale.
After spending some time in Pamukkale, you will continue with the second part of this tour, which takes place at Ephesus. Just before, you will enjoy a tasty lunch break at a local restaurant. Lunch will be open buffet and is included in your tour price.
After the lunch break in Denizli, we will drive to Selcuk (2 hours drive). This is the Turkish town where we have the remians of the ancient city of Ephesus.
Forming one of the greatest cities of the ancient world, Ephesus still charms and lures visitors. The ancient settlement projects excellent aesthetics with marbles structures and interesting architectural style. The infamous Temple of Artemis used to be there. However, today, you can only admire the ruins. The tour guide will guide you through Ephesus and you will visit many interesting locations and sights.
This amazing full day experience finishes during the late afternoon. After spending some time exploring Ephesus, we will drive back to Izmir. With a sense of sweet tiredness, but full of great memories you will arrive at your hotel.

The experience was wonderful. My husband and I were picked up from the front of our hotel by Seyhan the tour guide and Askin the driver. We were in a private Mercedes Benz van. We heard about the history of Izmir and what it us known for then we made it to Ephesus. Seyhan was very knowledgeable about the area and history of Ephesus and went to various parts of the site to explain information to us. We then went and stopped by at a Cafe with nice Turkish food and continued our trip to pamukkale. Pamukkale not only had the white stone and thermal pools it also had ruins and we walked to an amazing Roman amphitheatre. Eric organised our tour from the travel agency and ensured everything went according to plan and was very attentive. We had a very memorable time on this trip
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
If you are up for a busy day and want a lot to see, this is the trip for you. My wife and I had an unforgettable time visiting Ephesus and Pamukkale. We had Serhan as our tour guide and we couldn’t recommend him more. He is knowledgeable, engaging, energetic, and an all around joy to be around. He is great in the guitar too! The only regret we have is that we could be in Turkey longer to spend an entire day at each site, but thanks to Serhan we did exactly what we hoped for and then some,
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
My wife and I did the 2 in 1 tour to see Ephesus and Pamukkale thermal springs and it was beautiful! Booking was very easy and such a smooth process. Eric handled everything for us and was phenomenal. We had our own private van, driver and tour guide. We got text confirmations from Eric, the tour guide and driver to keep us updated and everything was on time. The tour guide was amazing and knew so much information and was great about stopping to take photos for us! This long day was well worth it and we would definitely recommend!

My wife and I did a 2 in 1 all day tour. We left Izmir and saw Ephesus and then traveled to Pamukkale to see the thermal springs. The booking was so easy and everything after was as well! We got text confirmations from the driver and tour guide letting us know what time pick up was and everything was right on time! We had our own private van with just us and the tour guide and driver. They were so helpful and full of information and we were so comfortable the entire time. The only complaint would be some of the admission fees that we were confused about and thought were included in the booking price and parking fees, but other than that it was well worth it! Our tour guide was literally amazing and could answer any question and was so nice to take pictures of us through out the trip. We would highly recommend!
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
We were staying in Izmir, but knew that we wanted to see Ephesus and try to also get to Pamukkale & Heiropolis in one day, since our time was limited. Our guide (Serhan) was very knowledgeable. We were pushing a lot into a single (long) day, but he kept us on track to make the most of each stop. Having said that, if we were doing it over, we'd opt to skip the swim in Cleopatra's pool at Pamukkale, b/c it was very crowded (we were there in August). The extra time would have been better spent at Ephesus (which was wonderful!).
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
This is one of the most amazing places I’ve been in my life. Going with a tour guide makes it even better. I’ve never been to such will preserved ruins and to have a person to ask questions to, while you’re visiting allows a deeper experience. We had 2 hours to visit Ephesus which was much better than the 1 hour you apparently get from a cruise ship. We also visited the temple of Aphrodite and a leather factory.

Beautiful views, our guide Adnan picked us up from our hotel in Izmir to bring us first to Ephesus to walk us through and tell us about the rich history, then he drove us to Pamukkale to guide us through the area while giving us plenty of time to take all of the photos we would want along the way. Adnan was very kind and wonderful throughout the whole tour.
Thanks for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
It was a wonderful day trip. From beginning we were updated and given details. Our guide mete kept us informed via message. I was bit skeptical how it would be to cover both Ephesus and Pamukkale on a single day. But it was relaxing and could cover all places. our guide Adnan took us to all places and gave in depth details about each of the places. He was very friendly and gave ample time to take photos or enjoy ourselves with our little one. Highly recommend it
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
This tour is a great option for those that want to visit Ephesus and Pamukkale but don’t have a lot of time. Mete was in contact with us since the beginning, making sure all was fine and Adnan was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and we just had a great time! I definitely recommend them.
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
What a amazing trip provided by Mete. Ado was such a genuine and hospitable guide full of endless knowledge. Took his time and showed hidden gems off the beaten path.
