Private Aphrodisias & Pamukkale Tour from Kuşadası

For travelers who have already discovered Ephesus and want to explore further, Aphrodisias offers an entirely different archaeological experience.

Set among the countryside of southwestern Anatolia, Aphrodisias was particularly famous for its marble and sculpture workshops. The site still contains impressive monuments, including its vast Stadium, Theatre, Temple of Aphrodite and Sebasteion.

After exploring Aphrodisias, continue to Pamukkale and ancient Hierapolis. Here, the archaeological landscape changes completely as ancient ruins meet the striking white travertine terraces.

It is a long private day, but the two destinations complement each other beautifully.

Entrance fees and lunch are included, so there are no separate site-ticket arrangements to worry about during the day.
