Our guide was Gokhan and he was amazing.
He was informative, patient and funny.
His explanations and attention to details were on point.
We loved the private/small tour which gave us the limited time off the ship to experience the bulk of the ruins.
The pottery exhibit and hand made rug co-operative along with the delicious lunch were above par.
Our introduction to Turkey could not have been any better. Thank you ????
