The theatre of Hierapolis is one of the best-preserved entertainment destinations that dates back to the second century. The audience section could hold up to 10,000 and be used to show everything from music to religious ceremonies and even live performances. While the theatre isn’t used to put on live entertainment anymore, the seating all around can be explored and used by visitors.

Agora is an ancient market where many of the population would have come to shop or to trade their goods with other people who travelled. While the marketplace is only one part of the city. Outside the city is a Necropolis, which was made popular thanks to the believed healing properties of the different waters. This cemetery has people from different times across many time periods.

Another destination on this tour is the Karahayit Red Springs. These unusual spring waters are found only five kilometres from Pamukkale; however, to contrast them the waters at Karahayit are a red colour.

Ephesus, once the most important commercial centre of western Anatolia, was established as a port at the mouth of the river Cayster. Being located on a strategic trade route in Anatolia, Ephesus quickly became one of the most important cities in the world.

The city itself and the ruins are all on the side of a fertile valley. The extensive ruins include the theatre, library, and gymnasium. Ephesus has been a "centre" throughout the ages. Once a trade centre of the ancient world, a religious centre of early Christianity, and today, a unique tourism centre.

Temple Of Artemis
The Temple of Artemis is known as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was built in the area of Ephesus, which has, over the centuries, turned into swamps. Today, one can only see the ruins of the foundations of this incredible construction of the Hellenistic Age, entirely made of marble and full of sculptured columns, capitals, and shafts.
 
Some of the most beautiful remaining parts of this temple are today exhibited in the British Museum in London. The oldest remaining relics date back to the 6th century BC, when it was surrounded by 36 huge columns, later enlarged upon the orders of the Lydian King, Kreisos, during the 6th century BC. Most of the exhibits in the British Museum in London belong to this period.
