After breakfast, we will visit Ephesus (ancient name Ephesus, current name Efes, also translated as "Ephesus") on the Aegean Sea. It has always been one of the favorite places for tourists when visiting Turkey. The vast area of ancient city ruins has been preserved for more than 2,000 years. There are records of the existence of the city of Ephesus as early as the 9th century BC. After the Persian invasion in the 6th century BC, Greek Alexander the Great recaptured it and began the construction of the city's infrastructure. After the death of Alexander the Great, his successors moved the city to the valley between Mount Bulbul and Mount Panayir, which is also the location of Ephesus today. After the baptism of Greek civilization, several emperors of the Roman Empire loved Ai very much and made great efforts in the construction of the city, bringing the city's prosperity to its peak. Visit the various buildings in the ancient city ruins and the Temple of Artemis. The site is currently listed as one of the UNESCO monuments. In addition, you will visit Maria's former residence: there is no consensus on whether the Gospel of Jesus' disciple John was completed in Greece or in Ephesus, but it is certain that John died here. John was entrusted by Jesus to take care of the Virgin Mary, so the Virgin Mary spent her later years here. When the House of Virgin Mary was excavated on the hillside behind the city ruins in 1890, it confirmed the fact that the Virgin Mary spent her later years there, and pilgrims flocked to the site. Then return to Kusadasi for the night. Accommodation: Same Hotel Kusadasi (B,L)
Day 11
Pamukkale-Cappadocia
After breakfast, take a bus to Pamukkale, about 2.5 hours. The main attraction of today's visit is Pamukkale, which was designated as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 1988. It was named after its limestone terrain that resembles cotton. Pamuk in Turkish means cotton, and Kale means castle. The local name of Pamukkale is Pamukkale. The hot spring here flows down from the top of the cave, scouring the hillside into terraces. The spring water accumulates into a pond on the platform, where people can sit and soak in the hot spring, which is both relaxing and healthy. The minerals in the spring water precipitate, dyeing the entire hillside white, like open-air lava. Looking down from above, the hot spring platforms are like mirrors, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds; looking up from below, it looks like a volcano that has just erupted, with white magma covering the entire hillside, which is quite spectacular. In addition, we will visit the nearby ancient city of Hierapolis, which was a holiday center established by the Kingdom of Pergamon in 190 BC. It was ruled by Rome and Byzantium successively, and was later destroyed by an earthquake.
