Nat Geo Day Tour: Influential women of Turkey, from Past to Present

Roam through the ages and explore the indomitable spirit of women who have shaped society from ancient times to the present day, right here in Turkey. Prepare to be awed by the might of the Greek goddess Artemis, learning her story as you pass by the site of her grand temple, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
You will also have the chance to follow in the footsteps of the Virgin Mary, visiting the house believed to be where she lived and eventually died. Inspired by a National Geographic article, your guide will discuss Mary's role as 'the most famous woman in the world' and reflect on how in modern day Turkey, the role of the woman is very important.
Enjoy exclusive access to the Earth School, an initiative set up by the Mayor of Selçuk herself. This project underscores her dedication to nurturing her community and promoting sustainable agriculture. You'll have the opportunity to meet the locals who are involved. A member of the Mayor's team will accompany you, providing insights into how this initiative is changing local lives and landscapes.
Your final stop is an elegant winery where an exclusive pairing menu awaits. The chef will join you to provide details of each course whilst a wine specialist will introduce you to each accompanying vintage. The selection includes wine from Yedi Bilgeler, a winery who have cultivated a vine of the same type that was grown in Ephesus over 2000 years ago, as documented by the King of Ephesus.
