Turkey: the Aegean, Ephesus, Pamukkale and the Turquoise Coast

Modéré

Mostly easy walking on ancient paving and village lanes, with three longer mornings on foot: Ephesus (about 3.5 km downhill on uneven marble, 3 to 4 hours, little shade), the Pamukkale travertines barefoot on wet ridged limestone, and the uphill climb through Termessos at about 1,000 m (2 to 3 hours on rough stone paths). Each has an easy option, such as skipping the Terrace Houses stairs or stopping at the Termessos theatre. The boat day needs only a few steps on and off the deck.

Arrive in Izmir

Izmir Airport (ADB) to central Izmir

  • Repas du soir
  • Nuit : Izmir
  • Environ 30 min de route

Fly into Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB), about 18 km south of the city. A driver meets you in arrivals whatever time you land and takes you to a central hotel within walking distance of the Kordon, the long seafront promenade on the Gulf of Izmir.

Après-midi

If you land early, the afternoon is yours to rest or wander.

Soir

In the early evening your See Sight Tours guide meets the group for a short briefing on the ten days ahead, then walks you through Konak Square and its Ottoman clock tower of 1901 into Kemeraltı, the old bazaar quarter, where lanes of spice shops, coppersmiths and tea gardens wind past small mosques and old caravanserais. We finish on the Kordon as the sun goes down over the gulf. Dinner is together at a local restaurant, with Aegean mezze, olive-oil dishes and grilled fish, and a first chance to meet the people you will travel with.

Faune et météo : April to June and September to October keep the inland sites walkable and the sea warm enough to swim from May; July and August are very hot at Ephesus and Pamukkale. Loggerhead turtles nest on Patara beach from about May to October, when it closes at night.

Questions

What does the price include?

Nine nights in central hotels, 9 breakfasts, 8 sit-down lunches and 3 dinners, airport transfers at Izmir and Antalya, our own vehicle and driver, a full-day boat to Kekova for our group, your See Sight Tours guide throughout and every entry in the day plan, including the Ephesus Terrace Houses, the Ephesus Archaeological Museum and Aphrodisias. There are no shopping stops.

How big is the group?

Between 7 and 12 guests, and never more. We do not merge groups, so the number you are told is the number you travel with. Twelve fits around one table at lunch, in one vehicle with room to spare, and on one boat at Kekova.

Who leads the trip?

A See Sight Tours guide travels with you for all ten days, from the Izmir arrivals hall to Antalya Airport. Where a site or Turkish law requires a licensed local guide, one joins us for that visit. We name your guide before you travel.

How fit do I need to be?

Moderate. Ephesus is about 3.5 km downhill on uneven marble, the travertines are walked barefoot on wet limestone, and Termessos is a 2 to 3 hour uphill visit at about 1,000 m. Each has an easy option, and the other days are easy walking.

I'm travelling solo. What does a single room cost?

A room of your own is CAD 830 more for the whole trip, shown before you book with no surprise at checkout. Solo travellers are welcome on every departure and join the same meals, boat and walks as everyone else.

When is the best time to go?

April to June and September to October. The inland sites are walkable and the coast is warm enough to swim from May. July and August are very hot at Ephesus and Pamukkale. In April the sea is still cool, and the gorge at Saklıkent can be too high to wade.

How does booking work?

Choose your style and start date and send a request to book. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. Your hotels are named when we confirm your dates.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. The private style is your party only, with your own guide, vehicle and boat, on a date you choose, from CAD 8,810 per person. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote hotels, transfers and the boat day.

Do I need a visa for Turkey?

Not for Canadian or US passports on a tourist stay of up to 90 days in any 180, under the current rule. Other nationalities may need an e-Visa bought online before travel. Check the official Turkish e-Visa site before you book; we confirm the rule for your passport when we confirm your trip.

Is there enough time at Ephesus and Pamukkale?

Yes. Ephesus gets about three and a half hours from opening, with the Terrace Houses included, and the Ephesus Archaeological Museum the day before. At Pamukkale we arrive in the late afternoon, as most day-tour coaches leave, and stay on the travertines until sunset, then sleep in the village.

Why is there no Istanbul or Cappadocia?

This trip is built for western Turkey on its own: flying into Izmir and out of Antalya saves two to three days of travel back to Istanbul. If you want everything, our 14-day Turkey trip adds Istanbul and Cappadocia, or you can add nights in Istanbul before day 1 and we will quote them.

How long is the drive from Pamukkale to Kaş?

About four and three quarter hours, the one day over our four-hour cap. There is no good place to stop overnight between the two, so we split the day with a coffee stop, the rock tombs at Tlos and a trout lunch at Saklıkent Gorge, arriving in Kaş in the early evening.
