    Priene was my favourite ancient site. This was magical and not to be missed. The mushroom soup experience (not on the official itinerary) was great, as was the rug shop in Camlik - normally these shopping experiences are awful, but this was a good choice. Several rugs were bought by the group. Both vineyards and wine tastings (and their restaurants) were excellent.

    Highlights of the trip included a visit to Ephesus, very interesting and loaded with history. The two days in Kas were incredible. It was nice to stay two days in one place. I really enjoyed Dalyan and could have used a second day there.
