  Ancient City of Ephesus

  Ephesus is a visit to one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world, offering an unforgettable journey into classical history. Ancient historians once believed that Ephesus was founded by the Amazons; today, it is widely accepted that the city originated as the Hittite settlement of Apasas. Accompanied by your licensed professional guide, you will explore the highlights of this magnificent ancient city, including the Odeion, where the city council once met, the Roman Baths, and numerous columns, monuments, and ruins that reflect the grandeur of Roman life. The tour also features iconic landmarks such as the Library of Celsus and the impressive Great Theatre of Ephesus, which once held up to 24,000 spectators.

  After exploring the ancient ruins, enjoy a deeply relaxing Traditional Turkish Bath (Hammam). Your experience begins in a warm sauna or steam room, where gentle heat opens the pores, relaxes tired muscles, and prepares your body after walking through Ephesus. You then move to the heart of the hammam, the iconic hot marble platform (göbek taşı). Resting on this heated stone allows warmth to penetrate deep into the muscles, helping relieve stiffness, improve circulation, and reduce travel fatigue or jet lag. Next, a professional attendant performs a traditional body scrub(kese), exfoliating the skin to remove dead cells.This is followed by a soothing foam massage, using soft soap bubbles and rhythmic movements to gently cleanse the body and create a feeling of total relaxation and renewal. The experience concludes in a peaceful relaxation area, where you can unwind with tea and water, allowing your body to cool down gradually and fully absorb the benefits of this authentic hammam ritual.
