Begin your journey with a short flight from Ankara to Izmir, where a friendly representative greets you and drives you to the ancient city of Ephesus in Selçuk. Walk among the marble columns of the Celsus Library, feel the echo of applause in the Grand Theatre, and see the lone column that marks the site of the Temple of Artemis, a wonder of the ancient world. The site also reveals early‑Christian landmarks linked to St. Paul and St. John, making it a pilgrimage for history lovers.
After a flavorful local lunch, the afternoon brings a glimpse into Turkey’s artisanal heritage. Visit a traditional weaving workshop to watch carpets being hand‑loomed, and explore a leather atelier where skilled craftsmen shape high‑quality leather goods. The day continues with a short drive to the picturesque hillside village of Şirince, famed for its stone houses, aromatic wines, and coffee brewed on hot sand. Enjoy a tasting session of the village’s celebrated wines and soak up the tranquil atmosphere.
Evening finds you settling into a comfortable hotel in Kuşadası, where a generous dinner awaits. The next morning, a buffet breakfast fuels a leisurely day of free time before a driver takes you to Izmir Airport for the evening flight home to Ankara. This compact itinerary blends world‑renowned archaeology, authentic crafts, and relaxed coastal charm, offering a well‑rounded taste of western Turkey.

Early morning you are collected from your Ankara hotel and taken to the airport for a domestic flight to Izmir. Upon arrival a guide meets you and drives to Selçuk, the gateway to the ancient city of Ephesus. A fully guided tour walks you through the civic agora and small odeon, the terrace of the Domitian temple, the fountain dedicated to Trajan, the public baths, the reconstructed Library of Celsus and the great theatre carved into the hillside. The guide also points out the site’s Christian significance and the remains of the Temple of Artemis. After a tasty local lunch in Selçuk, you visit a weaving centre and a leather workshop to see traditional crafts in action. The afternoon continues with a short transfer to Şirince Village, where you sample local wines and coffee prepared on sand, then enjoy free time to explore the charming lanes. The day ends with a transfer to a comfortable hotel in Kuşadası for dinner and overnight stay.
Start the day with an open‑buffet breakfast at the hotel, then enjoy a relaxed morning at your leisure—perhaps a stroll along the Aegean promenade or a quick dip in the sea. When it’s time, you are escorted back to Izmir Airport for your flight to Ankara. Upon arrival in Ankara, a representative meets you and drives you back to your original hotel, concluding the tour.

Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
