This tour7-Day Nemrut, Gobeklitepe, Ephesus and Pamukkale Tour from IstanbulTwo Sanliurfa nights allow the Harran-region tour before three Kusadasi nights, a free day, Ephesus and Pamukkale.
The summit terraces require an uphill walk of about 800 metres on a steep path with stone steps. Vehicles stop at the car park. Allow time for your own pace and wear shoes with a good grip; the descent may be in fading light.
Where do we stay after the Nemrut sunset?
You stay in Adiyaman that night. The drive to Sanliurfa is the following morning after breakfast.
Is the Sanliurfa to Izmir flight direct?
No, you change planes in Istanbul on day 4. Both flights are included, followed by the Izmir airport meeting and Kusadasi hotel transfer. There is no city visit or hotel stay in Istanbul during this connection.
Is the Kusadasi free day included in the hotel stay?
Yes. Day 5 includes breakfast and your room, with no booked tour or transfer; your chosen outings and other meals are separate.
Can I swim in Cleopatra Pool?
Swimming is an optional extra, subject to pool access and time before the Denizli airport transfer. Check with your guide before buying a ticket, and bring swimwear and a towel if you wish to swim.
Can the Nemrut summit be visited in winter?
Snow and ice can close the summit road and walking path. Access is often difficult in winter, especially from December to March. Check summit access for your travel dates before booking; the sunset visit requires the site to be open.
