This enclosure for archaeological remains at Ephesus elegantly reconciles historic conservation with accessibility for visitors. The site of a succession of great ancient civilizations, Ephesus, on the south-west coast of modern Turkey, embodied a peculiarly fertile synthesis of architecture and culture. In 356BC the Greeks built the Artemesium (a colossal Ionic temple dedicated to Artemis the fertility goddess) which was one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world.

Pamukkale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Denizli, Turkey, is renowned for its striking white travertine terraces, formed by calcium-rich thermal waters over centuries. Often called the "Cotton Castle," this natural wonder is paired with Hierapolis, an ancient Greco-Roman spa town founded in the 2nd century BC.

Visitors can explore the thermal pools, relax in the famous Cleopatra's Pool, and admire the well-preserved theater and historic temples of Hierapolis. This unique destination blends breathtaking natural beauty with a rich cultural heritage, offering an unforgettable experience. Pamukkale and Hierapolis are a must-see for those seeking the perfect combination of history and natural splendor.

The thermal pools of Pamukkale, renowned since ancient times, are said to possess healing properties that can aid in the treatment of digestive and circulatory problems, nutritional disorders, and skin and eye conditions. This reputation has made Pamukkale a flourishing spa resort for centuries. According to legend, even Cleopatra herself bathed in these therapeutic waters, drawn to their rejuvenating qualities. Today, visitors flock to Pamukkale's healing pools, combining wellness with a journey through history.
