Discover some of the world’s
ancient wonders with an expert archeologist
guide: From
Bodrum to Didyma, Turkey, May
24-31, 2008
ABOUT
THE CRUISE
Beginning and ending in Bodrum (ancient
Halicarnassus, birthplace of Herodotus)
this small-group (maximum 14) archaeological
gulet cruise visits some of the prettiest
and most interesting sites in Turkey.
The voyage is led by Prof.
Jennifer Tobin, a charming, knowledgeable,
and enthusiastic guide.
The highlights are plentiful: from the small harbour
of Myndos, where Cassius moored after
murdering Caesar, to Iasos, a wealthy
port, famed for its fish market and
red marble. Iasos’ past vitality
is revealed by the splendid
ruins that
litter the site - from the colonnaded
agora to the Roman
villa decked with
mosaics.
Inland we see two impressive
temples, the elegant Temple
of Zeus at Euromos,
and the gargantuan Temple of
Apollo at Didyma.
Of course it’s
not all archaeology. While at sea there
are plenty of coves for swimming,
relaxing,
and fine dining.
