From Bodrum to Didyma: Sailing through history
It’s the perfect chance to explore Turkey and enjoy bountiful warm weather, beautiful sunlight, a shimmering sea, fabulous food, and archaeological adventures!
The trip is led by Dr. Nigel Spivey 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.
Of course it’s not all archaeology! While at sea there are plenty of coves for swimming, relaxing, and fine dining.
