The Turkish Riviera and the Aegean Coast offer a perfect blend of history, nature, and leisure. Step into the world of ancient Rome with a journey through the timeless ruins of Ephesus, one of the best preserved classical cities in the Mediterranean. Walk along marble paved streets once walked by emperors, and explore a breathtaking landscape where turquoise waters meet some of the world’s most remarkable ancient cities.
The ideal time to visit the Aegean Coast and Western Anatolia is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October). The mild temperatures are perfect for exploring expansive archaeological sites like Ephesus or Troy without the intense summer heat, and the coastal breezes make sightseeing incredibly pleasant.
