I joined the 4 Days Gallipoli, Troy, Ephesus & Pamukkale Tour from Istanbul, and it was amazing! Visiting Gallipoli and Troy was both emotional and fascinating. Ephesus Ancient City took my breath away, and walking on the Pamukkale travertines was unforgettable. The domestic flight from Denizli to Istanbul made the trip so convenient. Highly recommended!
