Ephesus, was the second largest city in the Roman Empire over 250.000 people in the 1st BC. Ranking only behind Rome it was the second largest city in the world. Ephesus was also a harbour city. And, this giant city was built only with marbel. Terraced Houses, are located on the hill, opposite the Hadrian Temple. Also called as “the houses of rich”, they are important for the reason that they give us an idea about the family life during the Roman period. St. John Basilica, was a basilica in Ephesus. It was constructed by Justinian I in the 6th Century. It stands over the believed burial site of John the Apostle. The House of Virgin Mary, is a place where according to the beliefs of many people Mary, the mother of Jesus, spent her last years of her life. She was supposed to arrive at Ephesus together with St. John and lived there in the years 37-45 CE until her Assumption or Dormition. Stores to visit: Turkish Carpet Village Leather Factory

          Must see Pamukkale
          The tour van arrived on time at the specified location. There was enough seat for all the guests. I will mention that I did have to sit in a seat that was facing the opposite direction from the direction we were driving but I did not mind this but if you are someone who is prone to motion sickness/car sickness then please inform the other people and they may be able to switch your seat. The driver was friendly and got us safely and on time to the different location. There was a good amount of opportunities to use the toilet on the way to Pamukkale. The lunch was a buffet style. The food was range of salad, soups, chicken, rice spaghetti etc... drink are extra. After lunch we were taken to a jewelry factory/store that make jewelry from sultanate and other items made from stones from the Pamukkale area (There was no obligation from anyone to force you to buy anything). As part of the tour you get 10% discount if you pay by card and 20% discount if you pay by cash. Euro, dollar and pounds accepted. We did buy some nice rings from there and some special healing cups. After the Jewelers we went to shop specializing in home bedding, towels and scarf etc..made from local cotton grown in the area ( we did stop by a cotton field to take photos before reach here). They also sold other stuff like jerseys, shirts, shoes etc.... As part of the tour you got a 50% discount on everything in store with a voucher provided in store on arrival. (Also no obligation to buy anything here as well)Finally after this we headed to Pamukkale. Throughout the journey Ceyda gave us information about the difference place we would visit she was very knowledgeable about Pamukkale and gave us time to ask questions. Pamukkale was very interesting and the sight's were very beautiful. There is an optional mini hike to the Roman theater if you are not as mobile this may not be advisable to walk up ( there is an optional golf style cart they you can ride to get around but this is an extra optional charge). There are place to eat and drink from and there are toilets available. The Cleopatra hot springs pool cost extra we did not swim in it but if you want there is time to do so. Keep in mind that the pool was out in a very open area so other non swimming people could see you in the pool. There is a lot of calcium terraces. The first calcium terrorist is the closest one to you and you are required to take off your shoes you are required to be barefoot while in the calcium terrace.Other terraces are down a steeper slope down the calcium walkway. Please keep in mind that if you do go in the first terrace that I went in there is a lot of algae in the water so it can be very slippery so be careful. After this we went back to our hotel with one stop before to use the toilet. Overall we enjoyed this tour and we would recommend it to our friends and family. Lastly I just want to inform you that from where we were located it was 3 hours to get to Pamukkale and 3 hours back so if you are not fond of long journeys this may not be for you.

          Great your, great guide. Seller misleading
          Tour guide Ilge really good. Most of the tour excellent. We were not told of the two shopping stops. And the transport failed to turn up on scheduled day so we had to go on the next day.
