When we reach in Ephesus we start to explore this well-preserved ancient City. It was a City in Ancient Greece on the Coast of Ionia, 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) Southwest of present-day Selçuk in İzmir Province, Turkey. It was built in the 10th century BC on the site of the former Arzawan capital by Attic and Ionian Greek colonists. During the Classical Greek era, it was one of twelve Cities that were members of the Ionian League. The city came under the control of the Roman Republic in 129 BC.
we will have time for lunch which is included. Meanwhile, we would like to introduce you to the local cultural aspects of Ephesus by showing handmade Carpets and rug art done through traditional weaving in the Teaching Village and you’ll enjoy many Ephesus Ceramics as well.
After Ephesus you will be driven to the traditional Turkish Bath. At the entrance to the bath, will be given tokens and directions.
After undressing in the dressing room area, you will wrap your body in a peştamal, a traditional cotton body wrap. After locking all your belongings in the locker provided (remembering to keep the key with you at all times), you will pass into the hot area that includes the heated marble platform in the center. This area, called the sıcaklık(caldarium), consists of the large, hot marble platform which is surrounded by bathing basins (kurna) and private bathing cubicles (halvet).
You should first get your body to perspire, either by lying or sitting on the hot marble or pouring hot water on your body by sitting next to one of the basins. Than your attendant will give you an exfoliating scrub and a bubble wash as you lie on the hot platform. You will then move to one of the basins and the attendant will wash you there.
