Antalya 4 Nights & Kusadasi 3 Nights Group Tour – 7 Nights 8 Days with Domestic Flight

Highlights of the Antalya 4 Nights & Kusadasi 3 Nights Group Tour – 7 Nights 8 Days with Domestic Flight

Turkey's two great coasts in one 7-night group tour: the Aegean around Kusadasi, with Ephesus and the Ionian cities on the doorstep, and the Mediterranean Riviera of Antalya, with its Roman theatres and walled old town, connected by a domestic flight that is already included. You stay in hand-picked hotels of your chosen category, are met at every airport and join small group excursions led by a professional English-speaking guide.

In Kaleiçi, the historic walled quarter of Antalya, cobbled lanes lead past restored Ottoman mansions to Hadrian's Gate, built in honour of the Roman emperor in 130 AD, the Clock Tower and the fluted Yivli Minaret, the symbol of the city. The Lower Düden Waterfall pours straight off the cliffs into the sea, and a boat trip along the coast shows you the old Roman harbour and the Falez cliffs from the water.

The Pamphylian coast east of Antalya is an open-air museum: Perge impresses with its Hellenistic gates, stadium and colonnaded streets, Aspendos boasts the best-preserved Roman theatre in the world, still used for concerts today, and Side combines ancient ruins with a lively harbour and the seaside Temple of Apollo. A stop at the Manavgat Waterfall completes the day.

Ephesus was the capital of Roman Asia and one of the largest cities of the ancient world. Its marble Curetes Street leads past the Temple of Hadrian and the terraced houses of the wealthy to the two-storey façade of the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre, which seated 25,000 people. Nearby stand the House of the Virgin Mary, a place of pilgrimage for Christians and Muslims alike, and the lonely column of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

A full-day excursion takes you inland to Pamukkale, the "Cotton Castle", a UNESCO World Heritage Site where calcium-rich thermal springs have built brilliant white travertine terraces. Above them lies Hierapolis, the ancient Greco-Roman spa city with its monumental theatre, colonnaded street and vast necropolis, and Cleopatra's Antique Pool, where you can swim among submerged Roman columns.
