Long bus journey but worth it. Major sights visited in Istanbul city. Gallipolli and Troy well worth visit,very interesting,hard to imagine human cost of war.Trenches still visable. Lots of archaeology at Troy and replica of wooden horse to go in. Good photo opportunities. Ephesus with ancient streets,roman toilets,columns,mosaics and carving of menorah. Amazing amphitheatre at Parmakeele,The Thermal Springs. Lots of people but lots of space. White rocks fab,water not warm,skin felt refreshed after dip. Hotels used were high quality. Breakfasts delicious. Time to visit museum shops and time for coffee break. Guide allowed plenty of toilet stops.
Excellent Tour of Western Turkey Our guide Çağman was very knowledgeable about both ancient and modern Turkish history, and about architecture. He provided in-depth descriptions of the places we visited, and was always happy to answer our questions and to give us suggestions for which regional foods to try as we proceeded through the country. The accommodations were all very nice, and we felt very safe and welcome in this beautiful, historic country.
I would like to thank you for arranging me wonderful experiences in Turkey. The hotels, transports, restaurants for lunch and especially the guides - Ali Faik in Istanbul, Mediha in Kusadasi, Abdul Kadir in Antalya, and Ali Can (John) in Cappadocia were superb. The 4 guides I mentioned were truly knowledgeable/informative, able to connect to clients like me as they shared personal experiences as well, very accomodating and friendly. My guide in Pamukkale can be better, he needs to connect and be more of a communicator and his choice of restaurant needs improvement. Your agency staff are awesome to give me on time updates and clarification. I would recommend your services to my family and friends. Big big thanks again! IIll be back Turkey!!!
