Journey to ancient Ephesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of the best-preserved excavated and reconstructed cities, thanks to years of careful tending by British and Austrian archeological teams. An expert guide will take you to Odeon, where the advisory council held its meeting. Then, you'll visit the bath, Celsus Library and the Great Theatre, while learning about the rich history of these iconic sites. After leaving the ancient world of Ephesus, you'll head for the mountain village of Sirince to experience modern Turkish hospitality in a rustic setting. As you stroll the streets of Sirince, you'll see homes that show off Greek facades, with interiors that are distinctly Turkish. Enjoy shopping for handicrafts, and pause for a wine-tasting at a village restaurant, before savoring a typical Turkish lunch at the home of one of the villagers, prepared by the "lady of the house" in her kitchen. On the trip back to Kusadasi, pause for a cup of strong Turkish coffee and have a fortune-teller read your coffee cup. On the way back to Kusadasi, you'll enjoy a colorful and educational carpet demonstration in a Carpet weaving village.
