Before you pick a trip
Helpful comparison guides and local advice before you book.
Is Pamukkale worth it as a day trip?
Yes, but it is a long day — Pamukkale is roughly 200 km inland, so expect an early start and a late return. Worth doing if you have the day to give it; better as an overnight if you do not.
Ephesus: what to see and how long it takes
The main route through Ephesus takes two to three hours, walked downhill from one gate to the other. Adding the House of the Virgin Mary, the Temple of Artemis or Sirince turns it into a full day.
