Start your day with a convenient hotel pickup in Izmir and journey to the remarkable ancient city of Aphrodisias. This archaeological site, located in the fertile Maeander River valley about 100 miles southeast of Izmir, is one of Turkey’s most significant Greco-Roman heritage locations.

Famous for its sanctuary dedicated to Aphrodite, the city thrived from the 1st century B.C. to the 6th century A.D. Today, visitors can explore well-preserved monuments, including temples, theaters, and baths, alongside numerous exquisite marble statues and artifacts unearthed through ongoing excavations.

Aphrodisias holds a special place in the history of Roman sculpture, boasting some of the empire’s only systematically excavated sculpture workshops. This unique site offers fascinating insights into ancient artistic techniques and craftsmanship.

After a memorable exploration of Aphrodisias, including an included lunch, you will be comfortably transported back to Izmir between 3:00 and 4:00 PM, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel.
