Turkey Tour
Great tour and so reasonably priced - It brought back good times for us. Very envious of you seeing the Roman house excavations in Ephesus The whole area was tent roofed and out of bounds when we were there. Yes we agree that Gallipoli was a very moving place. So glad that Pergamum was a highlight for you Good on you for donning the leather at the fashion parade and having a go at the belly dancing !! Your trip did the same as ours but we saw more of Turkey with our extra days. Shame about the lousy weather at Pamukule - the terraces look spectacular in brilliant sunshine. Turkey is well worth a visit.

Turkey Vacation
Looks like you had a lot of fun! Speaking of being reasonably priced, I found an affordable “Grand Tour of Turkey” vacation from Cosmos. Thank you for your inspiration! My jealousy of your trip motivated me to plan my own tour of Turkey!

re:Turkey Tour
Hi thanks for the comments on my blog, I'm glad I helped you make a decision on Turkey. It was excellent, try to look out the window more than I did on the coach/ bus because there are some amazing rural scenes! happy travels Nick
