With private guides and seamless transfers, you’ll uncover sacred ruins, vibrant coastal towns, and timeless landscapes shaped by myth and empire. Every step immerses you in the layered history and natural beauty of Anatolia, creating a journey as rich and diverse as the land itself.
With your private guide, set out to explore Ephesus, one of the greatest cities of antiquity. Stroll its marble avenues to the stunning Library of Celsus, marvel at the grandeur of the Great Theater, and step into the House of the Virgin Mary, a serene place of pilgrimage. Continue to the Basilica of St. John, a sacred site with sweeping views of the landscape. Evenings invite you to enjoy Izmir’s bustling seaside promenade and the refined flavors of Aegean cuisine.
Wander with your guide through Alaçatı, a village of stone houses, cobbled lanes, and vibrant boutiques, known for its windmills and vineyards. Experience a private tasting of local wines and olive oils, savoring the region’s proud gastronomic traditions. Spend leisure time along Çeşme’s turquoise bays and sandy beaches, or take a private boat trip to explore hidden coves. This stop balances history with indulgence, combining authentic character with coastal relaxation.
Journey inland to Pamukkale, famed for its otherworldly white travertine terraces shaped by mineral-rich springs. Walk barefoot along the natural pools, whose surreal beauty has drawn travelers for centuries. With your private guide, explore the ancient spa city of Hierapolis, wandering through its vast necropolis, Roman baths, and impressive theater. Enjoy the chance to soak in thermal waters, just as Cleopatra is said to have done, before returning to your hotel for a restorative evening.
Begin your exploration with Kaleiçi, the enchanting old quarter, with its Ottoman-era houses, winding streets, and harbor views. Then, visit the Archaeological Museum, home to some of Turkey’s most important classical treasures. On a private excursion, discover Perge, an ancient city with colonnaded avenues and Roman baths, and Aspendos, where one of the world’s best-preserved theaters still hosts performances. End your days with serene walks along the waterfront and fresh seafood dinners under the stars.
With your private guide, visit the Castle of St. Peter, home to the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, and the site of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Wander the lively marina filled with elegant yachts, then set out on a private day cruise along the Bodrum Peninsula, swimming in secluded bays and basking in the Mediterranean sun. As your journey draws to a close, take in a last panoramic view of the Aegean, reflecting on Turkey’s vast history and unforgettable beauty.
