This seven-day holiday is based at one beach hotel in Bodrum – Salmakis Beach Resort & Spa or Azka Hotel – with breakfast and dinner every day. It combines relaxed days on the Bodrum Peninsula with guided excursions to Turkey's two most famous Aegean sights, Ephesus and Pamukkale, and a traditional hamam session, all with airport or bus-station transfers included.
The Ephesus day starts early and includes a village-style breakfast stop overlooking Lake Bafa, then the House of the Virgin Mary and the ruins of Ephesus, whose marble streets, library and theatre make it one of antiquity's most complete cities. The Pamukkale day travels inland through forests and villages to the white travertine terraces, where you can walk barefoot and bathe in the warm water, and the ruins of Hierapolis above them.
Between the excursions you choose your own pace. Optional extras can be booked on the spot: an off-road jeep safari of about 130 km through the villages and pine forests of the eastern peninsula with a swim at Mazı Bay, or a boat trip to the bays of the Bodrum coast and the warm mineral grotto of Black Island. The hamam day ends with free time to explore the town, its marina and the Castle of St. Peter.
Hotel room taxes, guided tours, entrance fees and transfers are included; flights, lunches and the optional programmes are not. The tour is available as a private or a small-group departure.

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!
