Historical highlights of South-West Turkey - holidays from Explore

Historical highlights of South-West Turkey - holidays from Explore: "Riverboat to Caunus
Starting at Dalyan, we take a meandering boat trip through a maze of reeds to the ancient Carian capital city of Caunus (400BC). We then drive to Alinda to see its impressive agora and little known ruins, before continuing northwards to explore Didyma, dedicated to Apollo, and the scattered remnants of Miletus and Priene.


Mighty Ephesus
With plenty of time at Selcuk, we set out to visit nearby Ephesus. At least half a day is spent wandering around the marble streets of this huge Greco-Roman city, once visited by Anthony and Cleopatra and where St Paul preached to the ancient Ephesians.
