From bodrum to didyma
A brand new itinerary for 2008, a glorious 1week version of our From Halicarnassus to Ephesus tour. Beginning and ending in Bodrum, ancient Halicarnassus, birthplace of Herodotus, this tour heads north around the Bodrum peninsula, visiting some of the most interesting and prettiest sites in Turkey. The highlights are plentiful: from the small harbour of Myndos, where Cassius harboured after murdering Julius Caesar, to Iasos, a wealthy ancient port, celebrated for its fish market and red marble. Today one can easily glimpse Iasos' past vitality in the splendid ruins that litter the site - from the colonnaded agora to the Roman villa decked with mosaics. Inland we'll see two soaring temples, the elegant shrine to Zeus at Euromus, and the gargantuan oracular temple at Didyma. While at sea there are pretty rocky coves perfect for swimming, relaxing, and fine dining.
