This is the tour I travelled from Australia to go on and I am eternally grateful to my wonderful and knowledgeable guide, Pervin Uslu. Oh what a lovely lady, I was blessed. I only wanted to perform a Ritual at Lagina in the Temple of Hekate and honour the Goddess. However, this tour is full of amazing surprises. There is the journey into the mountains from Bodrum with gorgeous scenery everywhere. You are transported into another world and you meet the most beautiful people, your heart will warm to them immediately. They are so sincere and giving of their time you wish you could stay longer. Stratonikeia is a hidden Ancient City that will leave you awestruck, the communal Latrina with it's irrigated sewerage system next to one of the Roman Baths are almost unique, certainly in my travels. The North City Gate which once led to Lagina is another magnificent example of ancient architecture. The Temple and Altar of Hekate were the end of a pilgrimage for me, so I was in heaven at Lagina. Next is the rural village of Etrim, where Turkish rugs are still handwoven using natural local dyes, as you admire a lady weaving at a loom. There is also a delicious lunch of local cuisine with a mixture of flavours that will delight your senses. I very highly recommended this tour. It is an experience you should not miss if you are staying in Bodrum. Thank you Pervin and Viator.
