Itinerary
Your day trip to the ancient city of Ephesus begins with an early pick-up from your hotel in Istanbul. After a short domestic flight to Izmir, we'll arrive in the region in about an hour. The itinerary is wealthy. During the day, we'll explore spectacular sites such as the Marble Street, Odeon, Bouleterion, Temple of Hadrian, Trajan's Fountain, Mosaic Street, Agora, Baths, Great Theatre, Harbor Street, and the famous Celsus Library, the third-largest library in the ancient world. We'll also visit the Temple of Artemis, which is known as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and was built in the Ephesus area.
We will continue to Sirince Village after lunch, which has a great reputation for producing regional wine in Turkey, particularly fruit wines. The 19th-century neighborhood of Sirince still has its original architectural details and is well-known outside of the nation. It is famous for its homemade wines that are specially made from different kinds of fruits, such as blackberries, blueberries, melons, and strawberries. In the evening, you will be tested on your knowledge of making fruit wine. On the way back to the hotel, we will stop at a carpet weaving center or a leather production center for shopping.
The tour will end with the transfer you back to your hotel in Istanbul; however, you can sign up to take advantage of TSG credits, and this is the best way to snag credits and use them for your next trips as a discount, as well as to hear about the hot deals according to your interests.
