visiting

Miletus is one of the most rewarding ancient sites on the Aegean coast of Turkey, and also one of the easiest to visit.

Sardis, the ancient capital of King Croesus, is one of Turkey’s great archaeological sites and also one of its most relaxed.

The white terraces of Pamukkale are among the most famous sights in Turkey, and visiting them is a unique experience: you walk barefoot on a natural formation built by mineral water over thousands of years.

Hierapolis is usually visited together with the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, and the two are managed as a single destination.

Aphrodisias is one of the most rewarding ancient sites in Turkey and one of the least crowded, a city of marble in a quiet valley of Aydin province that rewards the journey to reach it.

Pergamon is a site of many parts, and that is the secret of enjoying it.

Troy is unlike any other ancient site in Turkey. It is a mound of nine cities rather than a city of standing ruins, and its fame comes from Homer’s Iliad as much as from its walls.

Ephesus is the most visited ancient site in Turkey, and a little planning separates a rushed, hot walk from a great day among the ruins.
