The Theatre of an Epic: Troy<\/h3>\n\n

Tevfikiye is home to the ruins of the legendary city of Troy. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this city of nine archaeological layers reveals a complex 3,000-year history.

The Jewels of \u0130zmir: Ephesus and Bergama<\/h3>\n\n

Ephesus is a major tourist attraction in the region, famous for monuments such as the Library of Celsus, the ancient theater and the Temple of Artemis. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ancient port city attracted thinkers such as Aristotle. <\/p>\n\n

Bergama, with its Acropolis, the Temple of Serapis and the Library of Pergamon, tells a rich story through the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine ages. Its panoramic views unite past and present in a breathtaking landscape. <\/p>\n\n
