Ephesus & Pamukkale
« on: October 01, 2010, 15:36:17 PM »
Just been on the 2 day trip with Pioneer Travel - cost £42.
Had a really good time - would have cost as much to do on your own - example - entrance to Pamukkale 20 lira over the door - they gave us prepaid Tursab tickets which cost them 10 lira.

Included 2 breakfasts - both very basic Turkish - but still ok - a decent standard overnight hotel with a decent 3 course evening meal.

We stopped on both days at a bufe style place where I am sure they make a good bonus and the food was average - cost 12 lira and 10 lira but again - overall excellent value!

Ian :D

The ampitheatre at pammukale took my breath away -I literally made me cry-bizarre. I am not normally prone to crying at ancient monuments but this one got me at it. :o

I was also surprised (I am not very smart) when the guide showed us a slab of stone with the Goddess Nike carved on it and said "can you see the Nike logo here - which is where they got it from"

You can definitely see the shape below:
