Traveller reviews
We visited three ancient cities –Priene, Miletus, and Didyma. Our guide, Kemal, gave us a very detailed account of the daily lives of the ancient Greeks and Romans, explaining how the cities and temples were laid out. What impressed us most were the Temple of Apollo at Didyma and the delicious lunch - we got to try local cuisine, including pide. We highly recommend this tour if you want to fully immerse yourself in the ancient world and see ancient Greece up close. You'll be left with unforgettable memories!
Quite an expensive tour but well worth it if you want to see some of the classical ruins along the Turkish coast which are less visited by tourists. A surprising amount to see and we had Priene to ourselves!
A fantastic day with Cem. He was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and gave us plenty of time to explore. The place he took us to for lunch was also amazing and we shared some lovely local food.
great tour! had a tour guide sit in the van with us and explain about where we were going along with a lot about the culture and other stuff about turkey! very knowledgeable and a great tour! would recommend!
We start the day to Priene with our guide Adam. The first city with the grid System inventes by hipodamus. Our second stop was the City Miletus. Than we had lunch the last stop was the incredible temple of Apolon. We had very good time with our guide. On the way back we stopped by a place where we tried Turkish delight.
The second day we went with Adam to pmd as well. These 3 sites are very interesting but unfortunately not a lot of people are coming. Specially the grid system of priene was wonderfull. Miletos theater and bad complex was interesting. We ate for lunch Turkish pizza called pride that was perfect. Thanks Adam for everything
We chose a private tour and it was perfect. Sites were not crowdy so it was good to visit without a lot of people. It was friendly. Our guide was perfect
We had a fantastic private tour with Cemal. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had tremendous energy and enthusiasm. We booked a tour to see Priene , Miletus and Didyma. The first 2 places were beautiful, Cemal knew them very well and gave us time to explore and take photos and took us to areas the groups don't normally do. For Didyma we were told that it was under scaffolding so we could not see it, so instead Cemal organised us to see a rug-making community (with a delicious lunch!), Sirince, the Temple of Artemis and the Isabey mosque in Selcuk. All in all an experience better than we could have imagined , and we thoroughly recommend Cemal as a guide! The driver from the agency was excellent too, speedy yet safe.
