Turkey road trip day 3 Pamukkale by Life Travel Pepper
Last September Life Travel & Pepper started a 6000 kms of a positive and delightful road trip, exploring inland Turkey and it´s many heritage sights!
13 days road trip involved by imposing monuments of greek-roman history and culture, layered in a warm and turquoise ocean, captivated by vibrant cities of lights, people and beauty, seduzed by flying ballons that cross valleys and giant rocks with monster faces and dazzled by the energie of the established daily rituals and relaxing traditions of body worship.
Day 3- We woke up and went to the balcony of the room...WOW!!!!! What a view!!!Pamukkale it´s just there, just a road away.. We got there already late in the night so we didn´t realized that it was so close to our hotel. It´s so amazingly white and shinnig.
Pamukkale, means Cotton Castle in Turquish, because of the white, cottony appearance of the mineral bath spas that abound the province, which it´s rich in calcium.
Pamukkale is a small place, but it has remarkable spots that made our trip memorable such as the ruins of Hierapolis (ancient spa town), Cleopatra´s Thermal pool (scattered marble columns add to the charm of this warm, calcium-dense pool), Travertines (calcium deposit terraces), Roman Theater and the archaeological Museum.
Known as a “spa town” since the Roman era, Pamukkale it´s a fantastic opportunity to relax in warm, soothing and therapeutic waters in the myriad spas.
We spend most of the day dazzled by the magnificence of the hardened calcium bicarbonate cascading over the cliffs. So much beauty made us forget time...very relaxed, at the end of the afternoon we restarted the road trip, in direction of the turquoise coast, speacifically Marmaris city.

Ephesus was the second largest city in Roman times and the ruins of the city shows its glory. The harbor of the city was the busiest in the world and the streets were marble and lighted.

Turkey - Miletus - Travel Video
Miletus was once on the coast, but the river silted up it's harbor. It was first occupied in 1400 BC by the Minoans. Alexander the Great seized Miletus in 334BC. You can do a one day tour of Miletus, Pirene and Didyma from Selcuk. This is a great way to spend a day and explore some fantastic ruins without a crowd.

Walking through 3,000-year-old Ruins of Ephesus, Turkey
We're going back to Turkey on this #ThrowbackThursday! Here's a little video of Steve and my time in Ephesus! This place was built in the 10th century BC! Alexander the Great lived here briefly. Paul, the apostle, yes from the bible, built one of his first congregations here. And, at it's peak, it was home to about 56,000 people. Sculptors, poets, historians, politicians all lived out their lives on these marble streets! There was no internet, no cell phones, no GoPros, no social media! What would you have done with your time 3,000 years ago?

EFES EPHESUS DREAM CITY - ANCIENT CITYS e08 - with ENG subtitle
Located within what was once the estuary of the River Kaystros, Ephesus comprises successive Hellenistic and Roman settlements founded on new locations, which followed the coastline as it retreated westward. Excavations have revealed grand monuments of the Roman Imperial period including the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre. Little remains of the famous Temple of Artemis, one of the “Seven Wonders of the World,” which drew pilgrims from all around the Mediterranean. Since the 5th century, the House of the Virgin Mary, a domed cruciform chapel seven kilometres from Ephesus, became a major place of Christian pilgrimage. The Ancient City of Ephesus is an outstanding example of a Roman port city, with sea channel and harbour basin.
Within what was once the estuary of the river Kaystros, a continuous and complex settlement history can be traced in Ephesus beginning from the seventh millennium BCE at Cukurici Mound until the present at Selçuk. Favourably located geographically, it was subject to continuous shifting of the shore line from east to west due to sedimentation, which led to several relocations of the city site and its harbours. The Neolithic settlement of Cukurici Mound marking the southern edge of the former estuary is now well inland, and was abandoned prior to settlement on the Ayasuluk Hill from the Middle Bronze Age. Founded by the 2nd millennium BCE, the sanctuary of the Ephesian Artemis, originally an Anatolian mother goddess, became one of the largest and most powerful sanctuaries of the ancient world. The Ionian cities that grew up in the wake of the Ionian migrations joined in a confederacy under the leadership of Ephesus. In the fourth century BCE, Lysimachos, one of the twelve generals of Alexander the Great, founded the new city of Ephesus, while leaving the old city around the Artemision. When Asia Minor was incorporated into the Roman Empire in 133 BCE, Ephesus was designated as the capital of the new province Asia. Excavations and conservation over the past 150 years have revealed grand monuments of the Roman Imperial period lining the old processional way through the ancient city including the Library of Celsus and terrace houses. Little remains of the famous Temple of Artemis, one of the ‘seven wonders of the world’ which drew pilgrims from all around the Mediterranean until it was eclipsed by Christian pilgrimage to the Church of Mary and the Basilica of St. John in the 5th century CE. Pilgrimage to Ephesus outlasted the city and continues today. The Mosque of Isa Bey and the medieval settlement on Ayasuluk Hill mark the advent of the Selçuk and Ottoman Turks.
Ephesus is an exceptional testimony to the cultural traditions of the Hellenistic, Roman Imperial and early Christian periods as reflected in the monuments in the centre of the Ancient City and Ayasuluk. The cultural traditions of the Roman Imperial period are reflected in the outstanding representative buildings of the city centre including the Celsus Library, Hadrian’s Temple, the Serapeion and Terrace House 2, with its wall paintings, mosaics and marble panelling showing the style of living of the upper levels of society at that time.
Historical accounts and archaeological remains of significant traditional and religious Anatolian cultures beginning with the cult of Cybele/Meter until the modern revival of Christianity are visible and traceable in Ephesus, which played a decisive role in the spread of Christian faith throughout the Roman Empire. The extensive remains of the Basilica of St. John on Ayasuluk Hill and those of the Church of Mary in Ephesus are testament of the city’s importance to Christianity. Two important Councils of the early Church were held at Ephesus in 431 and 449 CE, initiating the veneration of Mary in Christianity, which can be seen as a reflection of the earlier veneration of Artemis and the Anatolian Cybele. Ephesus was also the leading political and intellectual centre, with the second school of philosophy in the Aegean, and Ephesus as a cultural and intellectual centre had great influence on philosophy and medicine.
the Ancient city of Ephesus Turkey and an Ancient Wonder
For more great destinations and hotel tours like me at
When in Turkey you must definitely make a stop in Ephesus, one of the most amazing ancient cities of the world. You can get non stop flights from Amsterdam, London, Frankfurt as well as Istanbul. I flew from Istanbul with Turkish Airlines into Izmir, only an hour flight and if you purchase far enough in advance can get some great rates. I only paid around 48usd. I rented a car from Hertz with GPS, which is a must. We had a tight schedule and I didn't want to worry about getting lost. The GPS lead us right to the main entrance of Ephesus in just under an hour. Paid 10Lira for parking and 40Lira for entrance, (Aprox ttl 18USD)30 if you don't want to see the Terrace Houses, but they are worth seeing.
Their will be someone there with small horses and carts that will take you to the opposite entrance, then you would just walk one way, which would have been more convenient due to our time constraint, but I couldn't do that to the poor horses, so we passed.
Walk down Harbor street thru the necropolis, city of the dead, towards the ancient city.
Walk along marble street and view the amazing ancient theater, the Agora and then on to Ephesus' most beautiful structure, The Library of Celsus. This is the most photographed building in Ephesus. Then we will turn on Curetes street and you will see the latrines, Hadrian's temple, the Terrace Houses, Odeon and much much more.
After Ephesus, we drive a little further, to the Grotto of the 7 sleepers and then on to the House of Mary. When Jesus died he asked John to watch over Mary and it is believed that this is where the apostle John brought Mary to live out her last days.
On the way back down the mountain you will get an amazing view of the city of Selcuk, Selcuk Castle and St John's Bastilica, which is our next destination.
A charge of 10 Turkish Lira to enter the bastilica, which also gets you to the castle. It is believed that St John, one of Jesus' apostles, came here during his last years and this is where he was buried. A small chapel was built over his grave, which later was expanded into the beautiful bastilica.
a few minutes drive away, you will come to one of the Ancient 7 wonders of the world, The Temple of Artemis. It is only a pile of rubble now, but from what historians say was once a sight to behold.
first destroyed by a flood, then rebuilt into the one that became the ancient wonder, it was destroyed Herostatus set it on fire, hoping to become famous at any cost. this happened to occur on the date of Alexander the Greats birth. It was believed that Artemis was preoccupied with his birthing to save her temple. Later, Alexander came to Ephesus and offered to rebuild as long as they attached his name to it, but the city refused. It was finally rebuilt after Alexanders death and this temple lasted for 600 years before being destroyed by the Goths.

The Istanbul Archeological Museums, just down the hill from Topkapı Palace (or just up the hill from Gülhane Parkı), hold outstanding collections of art from the ancient Near East, Greece and Rome.When archeology became a science in the 19th century, most of the Middle East was ruled by the Ottoman sultan, who got all the best stuff. These were his private collections, so they're pretty amazing.There are actually three museums here: the Archeological Museum, the Museum of the Ancient Near East, and the Tiled Kiosk (Çinili Köşk) (map).The oldest stuff, in the Museum of the Ancient Near East, (Eski Şark Eserleri Müzesi) includes one-of-a-kind treasures like the tiled reliefs of lions and kings from the fabled gates of Ninevah, and the oldest written peace treaty ever discovered (cuneiform tablets which preserved the words of the Hittite and Egyptian kings). (The Egyptian hieroglyphic version of the treaty was carved into stone at the Great Temple of Amon at Karnak, Luxor, Egypt.)The Archeological Museum (Arkeoloji Müzesi) is devoted to later stuff; ie, after about 500 BC, It includes many of the finest Greek and Roman marble statues discovered in Anatolia.Look also for artifacts found in the Yenikapı excavations which uncovered the Harbor of Theodosius and exposed the remains of 34 wrecked ships from the 7th to 11th centuries, and even Stone Age burials up to 8500 years old.The Tiled Pavilion (Çinili Köşk) is among the oldest Turkish secular buildings in Istanbul, an elegant residence built by Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror. It's been beautifully restored and is now an outstanding Museum of Turkish Faïence. More.Depending on your interest in very old art, fine statuary and tiles, you could spend between one and four hours in the museum complex. There is a lot to see, and you may wish to come back for a few more hours some other day.The easiest way to reach the museums is to go to the first court of Topkapı Palace (the tree-filled area open to the public without charge), turn left about midway into the court, walk down the cobbled street and look for the museum complex on your right. Or take the T1 Bağcılar-Kabataş tram to the Gülhane stop and walk up Alemdar Caddesi, bearing left and into Gülhane Parkı, then up the stone road on the right.

MediMoments 2009: Ephesus, Turkey, Curetes Street
Walking down the Curetes Street towards the Trajan fountain. The street is line with the statues of famous Ephesians, built in the 1st century, that were originally placed in front of the stores on both sides of the street. During the period of the Roman Empire, the priests dealing both with religious and state affairs were called the curetes. Since the bases of the columns with the names of these priests inscribed on them were found at the beginning of this street, it was called the Curetes Street.
Obelisk of Thutmose III - Istanbul, Turkey
Necdet Agir, our guide in Turkey, talks about the ancient obelisk of Thutmose III which was transported by barge to adorn the Hippodrome by Emperor Theodosius the Great in 390 CE. This obelisk from Egypt was erected inside the racing track. Carved from pink granite, it was originally erected at the Temple of Karnak in Luxor during the reign of Tuthmosis III in about 1490 BC. Theodosius had the obelisk cut into three pieces and brought to Constantinople. Only the top section survives, and it stands today where Theodosius placed it, on a marble pedestal. The obelisk has survived nearly 3,500 years in astonishingly good condition.
The Hippodrome of Constantinople (Turkish: Sultanahmet Meydanı, At Meydanı) was a circus that was the sporting and social centre of Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire. Today it is a square named Sultanahmet Meydanı (Sultan Ahmet Square) in the Turkish city of Istanbul, with only a few fragments of the original structure surviving. It is sometimes also called Atmeydanı (Horse Square) in Turkish.
The word hippodrome comes from the Greek hippos ('ιππος), horse, and dromos (δρομος), path or way. Horse racing and chariot racing were popular pastimes in the ancient world and hippodromes were common features of Greek cities in the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine eras.
