7 Days All-Inclusive Istanbul, Ephesus & Pamukkale Tour

After breakfast, your guide meets you for a full day of discovery through both faith and empires.

You’ll begin in the Golden Horn district, visiting the peaceful Süleymaniye Mosque, the striking Bulgarian Iron Church, and the Patriarchal Cathedral Church of St. George — all shining examples of Istanbul’s unique blend of beliefs and architectural heritage.

Next, wander the colorful streets of Balat and Fener, lined with pastel houses, vintage cafés, and hidden courtyards. This side of Istanbul feels like stepping back in time.

After lunch, your journey continues into the heart of the old city. Marvel at the exterior of Hagia Sophia, pass the ancient Hippodrome of Constantinople, visit the majestic Blue Mosque, and breathe in exotic aromas at the Spice Bazaar.

End the day with an optional 2-hour Bosphorus Day Cruise, or simply relax after this full, beautiful day.

Leave the city behind as you ferry across the Marmara Sea to the serene island of Büyükada, where cars are banned and nature rules.

Explore the peaceful pine forests, Ottoman mansions, and quiet streets by foot or bike. Enjoy a delicious seafood lunch by the sea and take in views of the Istanbul skyline in the distance. This island day offers pure relaxation, local flavor, and fresh air.

Today is yours to explore at your own pace. Want to shop the Grand Bazaar or relax in a traditional hammam? Prefer a guided visit to Dolmabahçe Palace or a walk on the Asian side of Istanbul? Our team is here to arrange whatever you’d love.

By evening, you’ll board a flight to Izmir and transfer to your hotel in nearby Kuşadası, a coastal town along the sparkling Aegean Sea.

Step into the ancient world at Ephesus, one of the greatest Roman cities ever built. Visit the House of Virgin Mary, then walk through marble streets lined with grand monuments:

• The mighty Grand Theatre
• The stunning Library of Celsus
• The Temple of Hadrian
• Ancient fountains, statues, and temples

You’ll also see the Isa Bey Mosque and the ruins of the Temple of Artemis, once one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Today you journey to Pamukkale, known for its white travertine terraces and hot springs. Walk barefoot across these natural pools, take incredible photos, and if you wish, swim among ancient Roman columns in Cleopatra’s Pool.

Explore the ancient city of Hierapolis, with its necropolis, Roman theater, and sacred structures. After sunset, fly back to Istanbul, where your driver will transfer you to your hotel for a peaceful night.

It’s time to say goodbye — but you’ll be leaving with a heart full of memories. We’ll arrange your transfer to the airport based on your flight schedule, and assist you every step of the way.
