About the destination: Pergamon (/ˈpɜːrɡəmən/ or /ˈpɜːrɡəmɒn/), Pergamos or Pergamum (/ˈpɜːrɡəməm/) (Ancient Greek: τὸ Πέργαμον or ἡ Πέργαμος), was a rich and powerful ancient Greek city in Aeolis. It is located 26 kilometres (16 mi) from the modern coastline of the Aegean Sea on a promontory on the north side of the river Caicus (modern-day Bakırçay) and northwest of the modern city of Bergama, Turkey. During the Hellenistic period, it became the capital of the Kingdom of Pergamon under the Attalid dynasty in 281–133 BC, who transformed it into one of the major cultural centres of the Greek world. Many remains of its impressive monuments can still be seen and especially the outstanding masterpiece of the Pergamon Altar. Pergamon was the northernmost of the seven churches of Asia cited in the New Testament Book of Revelation. The city is centered around a 335-metre-high (1,099 ft) mesa of andesite which formed its acropolis. This mesa falls away sharply on the north, west, and east sides, but three natural terraces on the south side provide a route up to the top. To the west of the acropolis, the Selinus River (modern Bergamaçay) flows through the city, while the Ketios river (modern Kestelçay) passes by to the east.

About the destination: Manisa is significant because it is a large city in the Aegean region and is also the administrative center for the Province of Manisa. Visitors in Manisa will appreciate its historical section, which includes many sites to explore, such as the forested valley on the immediate slopes of Sipylus mountainside, the Çaybaşı Stream, the ancient bridge of Kırmızı Köprü which means the red bridge in Turkish, and several tombs-shrines in the Turkish style built during the Saruhan period.

About the destination: Denizli is an industrial city located at the eastern end of the alluvial valley formed by the Büyük Menderes River, where the plain reaches a height of a hundred meters, southwest of Turkey, in the Aegean Region. Denizli also has a tourist attraction: the thermal waters of Pamukkale and the ancient city of Hierapolis, as well as the ruins of the city of Laodicea, the former metropolis of Phrygia. Near Honaz, 15 km west of Denizli, you will find what in the 1st century BC. C. was the city of Colosse.

About the destination: Pamukkale has been made eternally famous by the gleaming white calcite travertines (terraces) overrunning with warm, mineral-rich waters on the mountain above the village – the so-called ‘Cotton Castle' (pamuk means 'cotton' in Turkish). Just above the travertines lies Hierapolis, once a Roman and Byzantine spa city, which has considerable ruins and a museum. Unesco World Heritage status has brought measures to protect the glistening bluffs, and put paid to the days of freely traipsing around, but the travertines remain one of Turkey’s singular experiences. While the photogenic travertines get busloads of day-trippers passing through for a quick soak and photo op, staying overnight allows you to visit the site at sunset and dodge some of the crowds. This also gives time for a day trip to the beautiful and little-visited ancient ruins of Afrodisias and Laodicea, and to appreciate the village of Pamukkale itself.
