A cool morning in İzmir, wind off the Aegean, sets the scene: marble streets still hold prints of sandals worn two millennia ago, and a licensed guide opens a map where scripture, empire, and everyday life overlap. Over four days travelers move from Smyrna’s busy harbor lanes to the stepped travertines of Pamukkale, pausing at Pergamon’s hilltop Acropolis and the burial grounds of Sardis.
