Luna - Intimate tour that showed us both the history behind the scenes and the sites we had been looking to see left us feeling both well cared for and keen with the facts and history necessary to understand the cities culture and dynamic heritage. Our tour guide , a native couldn’t have done a better job creating the perfect atmosphere for learning fun and unique precocious perspective.

Ephesus was the highlight of the day - John (Ogulcan Bali) was a fantastic guide and made the history of Ephesus come alive for us. His knowledge is amazing This was followed by a delicious local lunch before we embarked on the silk and carpet weaving demonstration. Very interesting and actually a government initiative to keep the skill alive. We made it clear we were not in the market for a rug but we’re still treated to hospitality and treated in a very friendly manner Afternoon ended with exploring Kusadasi
