Magical, little-known places
I don't understand why the tour isn't promoted more, the places are beautiful and very well preserved. For our guide Erman I only have praise, his knowledge is incredible and his way of telling history keeps you expectant. I want to highlight the organization of the company, and the places they have chosen to eat, I will book with them again without hesitation

Hidden Ionia
We gave the crowds at Ephesus a miss and spent the day with a master story teller exploring the cities of Priene, Miletus and the marvellous temple at Didyma. Alperen our guide made the day seem effortless starting with a full conquest and reconquest history of the region then revealing at each stop wonderful hidden gems. All in perfect english (except when translating the ancient Greek!). Mustapha our driver was a real pro too. Way beyond my already high expectations.
Operator response
Thank you for such a wonderful review. We are delighted that Alperen’s storytelling brought the history of Priene, Miletus, and Didyma to life and helped you discover the character and hidden details of each site.
We are also glad that our driver made the journey smooth and comfortable. Knowing the day exceeded your expectations means a great deal to us.
We look forward to seeing you again with Gezenthi Travel Agency!

Better than Ephesus
The Pryene, Miletus and Didyma tour was phenomenal. The experience was just as good if not better than Ephesus and much quieter. Our tour guide Elcin was so knowledgeable and the lunch was wonderful.

Worth the effort to see!!
Alperen Ugur was a terrific guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, and polite.
The sites were all fascinating. We were practically the only ones there so had no problem taking pictures without other tourists in the shots.
Walking around is harder since there aren’t many groomed paths to use. But all of that is worth it to see these places.
Operator response

It’s great that you had the opportunity to explore the sites without crowds, making for great photos! While the terrain can be a bit challenging, we’re happy to know that the experience was well worth it. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
