Ephesus + Pamukkale

[buzz58]

Thinking of doing this trip start of July,does anybody know if you can do 3 days or is it just an overnight
stay,also do you have a choice of hotels eg 4* or above,want to go on an organized trip rather than driving ourself's and lastly which company would you recommend to book with. Thanks.

Done the overnight trip to Ephesus and Pamukalee twice and stayed at two different hotels there is a lot of travelling involved but I would highly recommend the trip . My husband and I thoughrly enjoyed it both times and it is very good value for money.

All I would say is that it's a bloody long way.

Hi Buzz58, i did this trip April 2007 when i worked for Thomson, stayed the one night, had a fantastic time, well worth it. At the time Thomson were charging approx £99, the bucket shops were charging approx £50. Thomson offer all UK guests and English speaking guides, insured against cancellation and guaranteed good quality hotels. The choice is up to the individual really. I am definately going to do this trip again this Summer.

That was meant to be 2011 not 2007 !!

We've done this trip twice now.  Both through organised tours, wouldn't really want to do it any other way to be honest.  Can't help with the names of the tour operators we used unfortunately but they were both local ones. 

A Highlander says it is a bloody long way, but we've enjoyed both times we've done it.  It's a very early start to the first day and you get back early evening on the second.  Hotels and all the places we've stopped at for meals have been good, certainly no complaints from us for what we paid. 

Take care in Ephesus in July, it will be hot!  Make sure you have sun hats and plenty of water with you. 

Enjoy it!

Typical of Thomson's twice as dear as the local tour operators, unfortunately you are not giving this advice to holidaymakers but to homeowners!!

I would like to correct you there.  Not everyone on this Forum is a home owner.  There are a lot of holidaymakers who return to Calis year after year.  There are also new members who come to glean information about Calis.

Reading your post, it sounds as though you don't care whether the large holiday companies rip their customers off with their expensive trips, which are no different from the ones that you can book locally in Calis.   I would have thought that you would want people to buy their trips locally, thereby putting the money into local businessess.
