2 Days Ephesus & Pamukkale Tour from Istanbul (Group Tour)

Highlights of Turkey in One Trip

This 2-day package takes you to Ephesus and Pamukkale. Domestic flights, airport transfers, guided tours with entrance fees, hotel accommodation, daily breakfast and lunch on tour days are included. It is an ideal add-on if you are already staying in Istanbul and want to see more of Turkey in a short time, without planning flights, hotels and guides yourself.

At Ephesus you follow the marble Curetes Street down to the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre, then visit the House of the Virgin Mary on Mount Koressos and the remains of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. Inland, the snow-white terraces of Pamukkale cascade down the hillside next to the ancient spa city of Hierapolis, where a theatre, a necropolis and the Antique Pool with its fallen marble columns await.

What to pack: bring comfortable walking shoes, a hat and sunscreen, swimwear and a small towel for the Pamukkale terraces and your passport or ID card for the domestic flights. Pick-ups for early flights start from hotels in central Istanbul (Sultanahmet, Taksim and nearby districts); if you stay elsewhere, a meeting point is arranged. Your guide speaks fluent English, and the tour schedule may change slightly with the season and flight times while all listed visits are kept.

Tours run in small groups of up to 15 people, or as private tours with your own guide and vehicle; standard or top-end hotels can be chosen, and international flights are not included so you can travel from anywhere.

Good to know: prices are per person in a double room; single and triple rates are available on request. Children aged 4–7 receive a 40% discount and children aged 0–3 a 70% discount when sharing a room with two adults.
