    The two day trip to Ephesus and Pamukkale was the absolute highlight of our whole stay in Turkey not just because of the beautiful places we have seen but also because we were fortunate enough to have Sukru as our guide. His knowledge of the places and the historical background is amazing, time after time I have felt that I am actually able to see the ancient world around us with full of life of the people who once were living there. The time we spent in Ephesus was like an open air university lecture for me ( reminding me of the old times ) We would like to thank Sukru again for making this trip a wonderful experience.I would book for any trip in Turkey if he would be the guide.If you want to see real Turkey, try this tour .
