In the morning, you will be picked you up from your hotel. We reach to Priene. Priene sets dramatically at the foot of a sheer mountain wall. Priene overlooks the aptly named Meander River. This 2500 years old Ionian city was among the first to be planned with a grid system of streets. Miletos – These ancient ruins lie on a hill near the Aegean Sea. Explore the ancient theater, built circa 4th century BC. The theater could accommodate over 15,000 spectators. We visit the well-preserved Bath of Faustina, named after the wife of Marcus Aurelius, who ordered their construction. Didyma – In antiquity, Didyma was connected to Miletos by a sacred road. We visit the ruins of the Temple of Apollo, one of the largest temples from the Helenistic Period. Despite extensive construction, the temple was never fully completed. In the end of the tour, you go back to your hotel in Kusadasi.

I booked a trip with Crossroads in Jan /20,after looking at many good reviews.My booking agent was Mrs Betul Eren.Athough we communicated thru email, her professionalism,,customer skills ,and knowledge was very evident.Somehow she also communicated her humanity.Due to the uncertainty related to covid19, I cancelled my trip.Mrs Eren was understanding and ensured my refund.I am sure Mrs Eren And Crossroads are mirror reflections of an excellent travel company.Hopefully I will rebook when are healthy days return.

Booked through Goodman tours weeks before our scheduled Balloon flight via Viator. Received confirmation, got tickets. Night before our flight we get an email, not from Goodman tours but from Viator advising that Balloon flight has been cancelled due to “overbooking”. Rang Goodman tours, they say cancelled because of bad weather but there were heaps of other balloon flights the next morning. Very disappointed as we went to Cappadocia specifically for the Balloon ride. Could of let us know earlier in the day so we could book another flight. Goodman tours offered a complimentary activity, but if never eventuated. Will not use them again.

Booked this from their website and had excellent communication throughout. The van was modern and spacious with air conditioning and we had an excellent driver . Our guide was also friendly and fantastic, highly qualified and very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Ephesus . He had an extremely wide breadth of knowledge of local history and was able to answer all our questions with grace and ease . Had options to stay in the town afterwards or carry on to the cruise terminal. Overall a wonderful day and highly recommended.
