We had some stops along the way for refreshments, breakfast box was similar to a bagel with jams and honey. We visited stone and jewellery making also wine and Turkish delight tasting. Panomaka and pandoras pools are extra cost on the trip but we found the cost was worth the money, The pool was lovely and warm water for a swim. I’m glad we chose this trip we got to see a lot of turkey and I’d recommend this trip to anyone looking, I was dubious after reading…”
