What to expect

History fans and foodies, listen up! This guided tour to Sirince is all about getting to grips with the area's main landmarks, as well as sampling some of the local cuisine. This activity ticks off everything from castles and temples to meze and ice-cream. Plus, you'll have a guide with you throughout the trip, so expect lots of insider info and stories on top of the sightseeing and food tasting.

You'll be picked up from your hotel and driven to your first stop, St John's Basilica in Selcuk. On the way, you'll get a glimpse of other big-name attractions in this part of Turkey, including the Temple of Artemis and Isa Bey Mosque. You might have a chance to hop off the coach and snap some pics. If not, you'll get a good look at them from the window as you drive by. Your guide will be on board, too, and they'll share stories and info related to everything you'll see. After some time to look around the exterior of the basilica, you'll wind your way through countryside lanes to Sirince.

When you arrive in the village, you'll sit down for breakfast. You'll have a chance to try some authentic Turkish meze dishes, like stuffed vine leaves, gozleme pancakes and bazlama round bread. Then, it's time for a guided walk through the city. Your guide will tell you what life's like here, and they'll point out all the leading landmarks. It's a laidback walk, so you'll have plenty of time to shop for souvenirs, as well, and you'll also be treated to some ice-cream. After your walk, you'll wrap things up at the restaurant you had breakfast in for a fruit wine-tasting.

Experiência de balão de ar quente ao nascer do sol em Pamukkale e visita a Hierápolis

Pamukkale é espetacular vista do chão – mas ainda melhor com vistas aéreas. Veja um dos maiores tesouros naturais da Turquia de cima com esta experiência de balão de ar quente. Você precisará acordar e brilhar bem antes do nascer do sol, mas vale a pena. Sobrevoe os terraços de cálcio branco-algodão antes de pousar para visitar as ruínas romanas de Hierápolis também.

Passeio pela Antiga Éfeso com demonstração de fabricação de cerâmica

Éfeso é um desses lugares que dá vida à história. Reviva os dias de glória do Império Romano enquanto explora os monumentos desta cidade antiga em uma excursão guiada. O sítio arqueológico é tão bem preservado que é fácil imaginar as multidões vestidas de toga que se reuniam e conversavam em suas ruas há 2.000 anos.
