ITINERARY

• A tour to the ancient city of Ephesus and Sirince Village is a highlight of any trip to Turkey. Ancient Ephesus is the best preserved classical city in the Eastern Mediterranean and the largest open-air museum found in Turkey. Ephesus has more than 30 buildings and structures linked together by streets that still have the Marks of Ancient Chariot wheels.
• The Great Theatre is where St Paul preached against the Pagans and where Gladiators once engaged in battle. Initially holding 25,000 people, this theatre was built in the Hellenistic period and was renovated by several Roman emperors. Designed for theatrical performances and then later alterations allowed gladiatorial contests to be held here. The Library of Celsus has been remarkably restored and probably the most photographed place in Ephesus.
• The final place at Ephesus you will visit is the Temple of Artemis one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Ephesus’ Temple of Artemis was built in honour to the goddess of the hunt, and only the foundation and one column remain of this temple which once measured 425 feet long.
• We will then move on to the Sirince Village which is located on the top of a mountain.İt used to be an old Orthodox village called Çirkince. Famous for its fruit wines, olive oil and other natural products and its charming restful atmosphere. A dozen small restaurants with Turkish appetisers and wine cater to guests and locals alike. During the exchange of populations between Turkey and Greece following world war 1 in 1924, Turks from Thessaloniki, Greece moved here.
