      Please note
        • Extremely Intensive Pace and Quick Transitions: Since the tour lasts only 4 days, transitions between Cappadocia, Pamukkale, and Ephesus will likely be facilitated by domestic flights or very long (and rare) bus journeys. This means very early starts, airport transfers, and minimal free time. Rest periods will be limited.
        • Extensive Walking is Mandatory: Long and sometimes challenging walking will take place in Cappadocia's valleys, on Pamukkale's travertines, and across the vast ancient sites of Ephesus.
        What to bring

          Weather and Attire Adaptation: Due to the geographical variety of the route, temperatures will fluctuate. Since ancient sites are often open air, sun protection (hat, sunscreen) is important. For the optional hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia, the air may be cold during the early morning ascent. Comfortable, sturdy, and non-slip walking shoes are the most important item for this tour.
