Along with Istanbul, the best known area of Turkey, the Aegean region

 

encompasses ancient Greek and Roman cities including Troy, Ephesus and Pergamon.

 
     

Our suggested tour of Western Turkey includes visits to seven churches: Ephesus, Pergamon, Thyatira, Laodicea, Philadelphia, Sardes and Symyrna.

     

Recently discovered Aphrodisias, which is still undergoing excavation, and the better known sites of Ephesus and Asklepion are among the tour highlights.

 
     

The Aegean region has long been a major international destination, meaning fine hotels, paved roads and easily arranged side excursions are plentiful. So close are the areas many attractions that we have been able to schedule approximately 100 kilometers of travel per day, meaning you have plenty of time to explore the many sites we visit.
