Retken kuvaus

Have the chance to see 2 different countries, Turkey and Greece in 1 holiday.

Samos island was initially joined to the Asia Minor Coast, but became separated from the mainland following, enormous geological upheavals. According to the myth, it was the birthplace of goddess Hera, while in reality it is also the birthplace of the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras. The island was colonized by the Ionians around the first millennium BC, while also Carians and Pelasgians inhabited it. Samos knew its greatest glory in the 6th century BC. Subsequently, the Persians dominated it during the Persian Wars, but later became a member of the Athenian Confederacy.

The island is the location of the joint UNESCO World Heritage Sites of the Heraion of Samos and the Pythagoreion, which were inscribed in UNESCO's World Heritage list in 1992.

Nat Geo Day Tour: De antika mosaikerna och konstverken i Efesos

Den antika staden Efesos är en av de mest besökta klassiska platserna i världen. Från 800-talet f.Kr. till 300-talet e.Kr. blomstrade staden under grekiskt och sedan romerskt styre. Idag är det en historisk skattkammare i ett anmärkningsvärt välbevarat skick med tanke på dess höga ålder, och det är lätt att föreställa sig det dagliga livets liv och prat för länge sedan när du vandrar genom ruinerna.Ditt äventyr börjar med en utflykt till det interaktiva museet, som ingår i din entrébiljett. Förundras över de terrasserade husen, som vanligtvis inte ingår i Efesus-turerna. Bland korridorer och innergårdar, som en gång var hem för välbärgade efesier, får du en känsla av den överdådiga livsstilen på den tiden. I dessa hus bodde några av världens rikaste familjer, och de eleganta detaljerna förflyttar dig tillbaka i tiden när du beundrar de slående mosaikerna och freskerna som pryder väggarna.Din guide leder dig sedan längs Efesos marmorgator där Sankt Paulus, Kleopatra och Alexander den store en gång vandrade. Ett besök i Celsus bibliotek, ett av de enda kvarvarande exemplen på ett bibliotek från romarriket, och amfiteatern som kunde rymma 24 000 åskådare, är andra höjdpunkter på denna rundtur.Se kulturbevarande i aktion på Art Ceramic Centre där traditionella keramikmetoder fortfarande är mycket levande. Titta på en keramikdemonstration och prova sedan på att måla kakel som skapats av lokala hantverkare, båda upplevelserna är exklusiva för National Geographic-resenärer. Turen avslutas med en provsmakning av regionala fruktviner, en lokal specialitet.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Moderliga ikoner: Artemis, Jungfru Maria och en lokal borgmästare

Vandra genom tiderna och utforska den okuvliga andan hos kvinnor som har format samhället från antiken till idag, här i Turkiet. Förbered dig på att bli imponerad av den grekiska gudinnan Artemis makt och lär dig hennes historia när du passerar platsen för hennes stora tempel. På museet tillbringar du tid i galleriet som är tillägnat de lokala gudinnorna och som skildrar Artemis utveckling. Beundra två stora statyer av Artemis från Efesos och en modell av templet som det såg ut under den period då det ansågs vara ett av den antika världens sju underverk. Du får också chansen att följa i Jungfru Marias fotspår och besöka det hus som tros vara där hon bodde och slutligen dog. Inspirerad av en artikel i National Geographic kommer din guide att diskutera Marias roll som ”den mest kända kvinnan i världen” och reflektera över hur kvinnans roll är avgörande för samhället i dagens Turkiet. Njut av exklusiv tillgång till Earth School, ett initiativ som grundades av Selçuks borgmästare själv. Detta projekt understryker hennes engagemang för att vårda sitt samhälle och främja hållbart jordbruk och du får möjlighet att träffa lokalborna som är involverade. En medlem av borgmästarens team kommer att följa med dig och ge insikter i hur detta initiativ förändrar lokala liv och landskap. Sista stoppet är en restaurang med fokus på hållbarhet där du tillsammans med personalen får plocka växter på området och avnjuta en speciell lunch med mat av högsta kvalitet och vänlig service.

Pamukkale & Hierapolis Tour
Utflykter & dagsturer

Pamukkale & Hierapolis Tour

A natural masterpiece combines with ancient ruins for this full day tour. You'll head to Pamukkale – which means 'cotton castle' in Turkish – as well as the adjacent city of Hierapolis. Both are UNESCO-listed, so it's a two-for-one deal on Turkey's historical gems. Muzaffer, one of our local guides, says, ‘Pamukkale is like something out of a fairytale – a spectacle of terraces formed over thousands of years that look like a cascading snowy waterfall. Legend has it, the hot thermal springs here have healing properties'.On arrival, you'll stop by the Pam Hotel for a spot of lunch, before we make our way to the main event. A sight to behold, Pamukkale's natural springs solidified into chalk-white stalactites and cliffs long ago, resulting in a winter-like wonderland of petrified tiers and pools. People have bathed here for thousands of years, including Roman emperors. Follow in their footsteps and bathe in one of the thermal pools or simply make your way to the top and drink in the magnificent views.Next up is the ancient spa town of Hierapolis. You'll have free time to explore its well-preserved ruins, including ancient streets, a 13,000-seat theatre and the thermal baths – known as Cleopatra's pool due to her reputation of eternal youth. A dip is extra but well worth forking out for the experience of bathing in an oasis scattered with Roman artefacts. What's more, for every sale of this experience, there's a donation to CYDD, a charity that helps in the education of underprivileged children in Turkey.

The hills around Kuşadası are home to two of Turkey's most popular historical sites – the ancient city of Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary.

It once held over 12,000 scrolls and was the third-largest library in the ancient world.'Kick off with a drive into the sun-soaked hills to visit the House of the Virgin Mary. According to popular belief, St John the Evangelist brought Mary to Ephesus after the crucifixion of Jesus, and she lived here until her death. Next, it's time to head to the ancient city of Ephesus, where a journey through history awaits. Your guide will lead you around the sprawling archaeological site and point out its highlights while regaling you with fascinating historic tales of this once-powerful city.You'll stroll down marble-paved streets where mosaics and frescoes still decorate the walls of ancient Roman houses, gaze at the Temples of Artemis and Hadrian, and be blown away by the Library of Celsus.

You can almost hear the roar of the crowd.'
