• MuseumEphesus MuseumThe half of Ephesus that was carried indoors. It is also the one stop on an Aegean day where the room, not the distance, is what stops your group from hearing you.Selçuk, İzmir · 1 h 15 min
• MuseumHierapolis Archaeology MuseumThe museum is installed inside the Roman baths, which means the building is the largest object in it. That is the reason to go in, and it is also the reason the room behaves badly for a group.Pamukkale, Denizli · 45 min
• MuseumMiletus MuseumOne small building holding the finds of three cities. It is the shortest stop of a Miletus–Priene–Didyma day and the only one where the whole route finally sits in one room.Didim, Aydın · 40 min
• MuseumŞanlıurfa Archaeology and Mosaic MuseumThe other half of a Göbeklitepe day. The excavation shows you where the pillars stood; this is where you can actually look at them.Eyyübiye, Şanlıurfa · 2 h
