Overview

Highlights of 4-Day Gallipoli, Troy, Pamukkale & Ephesus Tour

Gallipoli, Troy, Pamukkale, Ephesus

Let's visit Gallipoli, Troy, Pamukkale, and Ephesus .Start your journey on the Gallipoli Peninsula in northwestern Turkey, a site that witnessed the fierce World War I battles between the Anzacs and the Turks. Today, this area stands as a poignant memorial to the tens of thousands who lost their lives during the eight-month campaign. On 25 April, Anzac Day is commemorated annually in Australia, New Zealand, and Turkey to honor their memory.

Also, travel to the legendary city of Troy, immortalized in Homer's Iliad and known for its role in the Trojan War. Beyond its mythical tales, Troy offers archaeological treasures from the Early Bronze Age to the Byzantine period. Don't miss the replica Trojan Horse in Çanakkale, a nod to the city's cinematic legacy.

Then, head to Pamukkale, aptly named the "Cotton Castle" for its dazzling white travertine terraces formed by natural thermal springs. Explore the ancient city of Hierapolis, a historic health center fed by these 17 hot springs. Highlights include the Cleopatra Pool, the amphitheater, the Martyrium of Apostle Philip, the Necropolis, and the Temple of Apollo.

Finally, discover the ancient city of Ephesus, a gem of the Aegean Region and one of the most well-preserved cities of antiquity. Founded in the 10th century BCE, Ephesus became a major center of trade and culture under Roman rule. You will visit the Celsus Library, Agora, The Theater, Odeon, Trajan Fountain, Domitianus Temple, Hercules Gate, Nike's Relief, and many more.

This tour is more than a trip—it's an incredible journey through the stories, cultures, and landscapes that shaped Turkey's astonishing heritage. With expert guides to bring each site to life, this experience promises memories that will stay with you forever.
