“Kaan - our tour guide, was excellent he had lots of knowledge on the history of the area. The organisation of the trip was really good, lots of travelling but breaks are scheduled in to help break up the day. The Roman city was the highlight of our trip. The hot springs are also very scenic and great for photos”
