Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Meet you at Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport and drive to continue to tour for Ephesus. Its greatest asset is its closeness to the magnificent ruins of Ephesus. The recently opened Slope Houses where the wealthiest Romans lived are an excellent example of sensitive excavation and presentation.
The mosaics and frescos are spectacular. Tradition has it that Virgin Mary was brought here by St. John after the Crucifixion and lived her final years near the city of Ephesus on an isolated mountaintop. A lovely chapel is constructed on the site tended by Franciscans and open to visitors. It has been designated a pilgrimage site by the Pope.
Day 2: Check out form the hotel and drive to Bergama/Pergamon. The city of Bergama is historically famous for its antique city of Pergamon and for it traditional quarter of Ottoman houses. After the death of Alexander the Great his generals divided up his Kingdom.
Over the following years an impressive metropolis was built in the rocky terrain with beautiful temples, roads, a vast library rivaling that of Alexander’s in Egypt and a school of medicine, which survived for centuries. Eventually, the Kingdom of Pergamon was bequeathed to the Roman Empire. End of the our service, we will transfer you to the airport.
