Roman forum, Iasos
|
A glorious 1-week version of our ever popular 2 week From Halicarnassus
to Ephesus tour. Beginning and ending in Bodrum, ancient Halicarnassus,
birthplace of Herodotus, this archaeological gulet cruise visits
some of the prettiest and most interesting sites in Turkey. The
perfect chance to see Turkey at one of the best times of the year
- spring flowers, warm weather, beautiful sunlight, a shimmering
sea, fabulous food, and archaeological adventures!
The trip is led by
Dr. Jennifer Tobin a charming, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic
guide. The highlights are plentiful: from the small harbour of
Myndos, where Cassius moored after murdering Caesar, to Iasos,
a wealthy port, famed for its fish market and red marble. Iasos
past vitality is revealed by the splendid ruins that litter the
site - from the colonnaded agora to the Roman villa decked with
mosaics.
Swimming in azure seas

Inland we see two impressive
temples, the elegant shrine to Zeus at Euromus, and the gargantuan
temple of Apollo at Didyma.

not all archaeology! While at sea there are plenty of coves for
swimming, relaxing, and fine dining.
