The ruins are in incredible shape considering their age, and it\u2019s not difficult to image them in their full glory 2000 years ago. This ancient city was extremely sophisticated with running water, public toilets, a renowned medical institute, a brothel and Roman baths. The theatre is well preserved and regularly hosts concerts, but it's the magnificent library that takes most people's breath away. From Ephesus, drive to Selcuk to feast on the popular gozleme (Turkish pancake) as it's made in front of you, then visit the Isa Bey Mosque, and the remains of the Artemis Temple This afternoon there is an opportunity to visit Sultankoy. This small village is dedicated to carpet weaving, and here you can discover all about this traditional art form, from dying the wool to traditional weaving on wooden looms.

Though you won't be able to bathe in these pools, you can take a walk through them, visit the nearby ancient city of Hierapolis and take a dip in what used to be Cleopatra\u2019s old pool. Alternatively, you could take to the Aegean and explore the coastline on a gulet, a traditional wooden Turkish vessel, and swim in the crystal-clear waters of Soguksu Bay, Claros Island and Baradan Beach while enjoying lunch on deck. If you'd rather have a low-key day, there are plenty of beaches in town to relax on. Whatever you do, make sure you're ready to head back to Izmir by 6 pm as the Mavi Konya, an overnight train, will be waiting to transport you through the night to the central Anatolian city of Konya.","sort":3,"tour_id":853,"ref_parts_id":"4","extra":{"meals":{"dinnersIncluded":0,"lunchesIncluded":0,"breakfastsIncluded":"1"},"accommodationList":{"description":"Mavi Konya","numberOfNights":"1"},"includedActivityList":[],"optionalActivityList":[]}},{"id":10595,"created_at":"2020-10-10T17:35:12.000000Z","updated_at":"2022-06-28T20:17:13.000000Z","title":"Day 5: Konya \/ Cappadocia","image_url":null,"description":"Wake up in Konya, a traditional Turkish city that's closely linked with the whirling dervish sect of Islam developed in the 13th century by Celaleddin Rumi, considered one of Islam's greatest Sufi mystics. Take an opportunity to visit the Mevlana Museum and stretch your legs in town before hitting the road for a 3-hour journey to Cappadocia. Keep an eye out for the fairy chimneys, the hallmarks of Cappadocia's otherworldly landscape, as you drive across the Anatolian plains. Stop enroute at one of the underground cities that once provided a safe haven in times of war or persecution. Arrive in Goreme in the late afternoon and take a sunset valley walk before settling in for the evening.","sort":4,"tour_id":853,"ref_parts_id":"5","extra":{"meals":{"dinnersIncluded":0,"lunchesIncluded":0,"breakfastsIncluded":0},"accommodationList":{"description":"Hotel ","numberOfNights":"1"},"includedActivityList":{"description":"Cappadocia - Kaymakli Underground City"},"optionalActivityList":[]}},{"id":10596,"created_at":"2020-10-10T17:35:12.000000Z","updated_at":"2022-06-28T20:17:13.000000Z","title":"Day 6: Cappadocia","image_url":null,"description":"This morning you have the option to take a hot air balloon flight, a once-in-a-lifetime experience during which the sun illuminates a skyline dotted with balloons. Even if you'd prefer not to take a flight, it's still worth waking up for this truly incredible sight. Later this morning, enjoy a guided walk through one of the nearby valleys, possibly the Valley of Love, which features fairy chimneys, deserted rock-cut homes and churches. Your leader will know a number of fantastic scenic routes, and a good walk is by far the best way to experience this unique environment. In your free time today, maybe visit the UNESCO-listed Goreme Open Air Museum, a monastic complex composed of churches, rectories and dwellings cut into the soft cliff face. You could also hire a bicycle and ride to Avanos to check out the Red River or relax in a Turkish bath. This evening, your leader will give you the option of sharing a meal with a local family in their own home, or alternatively you could grab a local testi kebab, an evening hookah in one of the cafes or a glass of the local wine while overlooking the valley. A perfect last night in Cappadocia, whatever you choose.","sort":5,"tour_id":853,"ref_parts_id":"6","extra":{"meals":{"dinnersIncluded":0,"lunchesIncluded":0,"breakfastsIncluded":"1"},"accommodationList":{"description":"Hotel","numberOfNights":"1"},"includedActivityList":{"description":"Cappadocia - Valley walk"},"optionalActivityList":[{"price":{"#text":"195","@currency":"EUR"},"description":"Goreme - Hot Air Balloon, Cappadocia Regular Flight"},{"price":{"#text":"100","@currency":"TRY"},"description":"Cappadocia - Goreme Open Air Museum"},{"price":{"#text":"25","@currency":"EUR"},"description":"Goreme - Whirling Dervishes - Sema Performance"}]}},{"id":10597,"created_at":"2020-10-10T17:35:12.000000Z","updated_at":"2022-06-28T20:17:13.000000Z","title":"Day 7: Cappadocia to Istanbul","image_url":null,"description":"Wave goodbye to Cappadocia and transfer to the airport for a flight back to Istanbul (expect to arrive between 1 and 4 pm), then grab your bags and jump on the metro as the group heads to the Sultanahmet District for the final evening of the trip.
