Allow yourself to be impressed on a detailed tour of the sprawling ancient city of Ephesus, one of the most powerful Greco-Roman cities of the ancient world, and today one of the world’s best preserved archeological sites. Walk the Sacred Way, a paved and colonnaded marble street, tracing the steps of Julius Caesar, Saint Paul, Antony and Cleopatra. The Library of Celsus rivals any structure in the Roman Forum and the amphitheater dwarfs that of Pompeii. Our visit includes the impressively lavish Terrance Houses where wealthy Ephesians lived 2,000 years ago. At the Ephesus Museum, see exquisite Greek and Roman artifacts excavated in Ephesus. Lunch at a traditional diner specializing in Turkish grilled meatballs, Mei-mei’s favorite kofte in all of Turkey. Tonight we take you to into one of Turkey’s wine growing regions considered the Tuscany of Turkey. At a countryside winery, enjoy a sophisticated Wine Pairing Dinner overlooking the vineyards.
