Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Step onto the marble streets of Ephesus and experience one of the greatest cities of the ancient world—astonishingly preserved and deeply moving. This is not just a sightseeing tour; it’s a journey back 2,000 years.

You’ll stand before the breathtaking Library of Celsus, walk into the massive Great Theater that once held 25,000 people, and explore temples, baths, and marketplaces where everyday Roman life unfolded. Through vivid stories, the city comes alive with tales of power, ambition, faith, and innovation.

Ephesus is also a place of profound spiritual importance, closely linked to St. Paul and the Virgin Mary, adding a powerful emotional layer to the experience.

Visitors don’t leave thinking “That was interesting.”
They leave thinking “This is something everyone should see at least once.”

If you want an experience that truly connects you with history, culture, and unforgettable beauty—Ephesus is not optional. It’s essential.

Adasaray Turkish Bath is a classic, authentic Ottoman hammam experience—perfect if you want to relax, reset, and feel genuinely refreshed.

You’ll enter a warm marble bathhouse where centuries-old traditions are still practiced. The experience includes time in the heated marble room, a full body scrub (kese) to remove dead skin, and a rich foam massage that leaves you unbelievably light and clean. Every step is done by professional attendants who know this ritual inside out.

This isn’t a rushed spa treatment—it’s a deep, cultural cleansing that locals have enjoyed for generations. Muscles relax, skin feels brand new, and your mind slows down in a way modern spas rarely achieve.

Whether after sightseeing or as a standalone experience, Adasaray Turkish Bath is not just pampering—it’s a piece of Turkish culture you feel with your whole body.
You don’t just leave clean. You leave renewed.
