What you can expect

Escape busting Istanbul and dive into cities that date back to ancient Greek and Roman times. Wander past the ruins of the Ionian League city of Ephesus, snap photos of temples in Pergamum, and visit the final home of the Virgin Mary on this engaging 2-day excursion with airfare from Istanbul.

Day 1
Wake up and meet your guide outside your Istanbul hotel for a quick ride to the airport and your flight to Izmir. When you arrive, hop aboard comfortable transport and make your way to Ephesus' extraordinary collection of weather-worn temple remnants and historic landmarks.

Imagine performances of epic poetry at the Great Theatre, picture philosophers as you stroll down the Arcadian Way, and spend some time admiring the arches of the Gate of Magnesia. Before lunch, head up Mount Solmissos to scope out the final home of the Virgin Mary.

Tie in the sites you've seen with a walk around the immersive exhibits at the Ephesus Archaeological Museum, see the grand dome atop the Isa Bey Mosque, and find out what qualified the nearby Temple of Artemis as one of Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Day 2
Cruise to Pergamum to scope out the Sanctuary of Asclepius, where sick Greeks and Romans came for innovative healing treatments, and learn about the function the god of healing was believed to play in treatments like blood transfusions, meditation, and water therapy.

Nearby, check out the Pergamum Acropolis' temples to Athena, Zeus, and Dionysus, and swing by what was once the second largest library in the Roman Empire before you hop back on a flight and return to Istanbul.
