About this trip
Three days, three of Turkey's biggest ancient sites, starting and ending in Istanbul. This is a fast, focused sweep through Ephesus, Pamukkale and Pergamon for anyone short on time but keen to see the highlights properly.
You'll walk through the Greco-Roman streets of Ephesus, see the white terraced pools of Pamukkale, and climb up to the acropolis at Pergamon. Guides are with you throughout, filling in the history behind the ruins.
It's a compact, guided run through some of the country's most significant archaeological sites rather than a slow explore, so expect a fair bit of ground covered in a short time.
