Escaping Izmir: Ancient Ruins and White Terraces by Budget
The scent of salt air and roasting chestnuts fills the Kordon promenade where locals walk for miles along the Aegean coast. # Mid-Range Excursions Worth the Upgrade # Photo by Doğan Alpaslan Demir on Pexels Photo by Doğan Alpaslan Demir on Pexels If you want to see the white travertine terraces of a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Pamukkale Small Group Tour From Izmir at 131 TRY is your best bet. This trip takes you away from the city to see the calcium deposits formed by thermal waters, making it ideal for those who prefer natural landscapes over stone ruins. Bring a pair of water shoes because you have to walk barefoot on the calcium pools, and the surfaces can get slippery.
