The following week was devoted to relaxing in Antalya, visiting historic Greco-Roman sites such as Perge and Aspensos. A particular highlight was a boat cruise out amongst the islands to view the sunken city of Simena. Then whilst most of the men in the party walked to the castle on the top of the island of Kekova, the women found a delightful habour café to view the scenery and the absolutely clear surrounding blue water.
A drive through the snow capped mountains with their remote peasant villages took us for a few days to the Agean resort of Kusadasi. A visit to a family owned rug making company demonstrated the skill of young female workers, taking in some cases years to complete complex patterns in silk, all by hand.
We visited the ancient city of Ephesus, one of the most important centres of the ancient World and the remains here are stunning, as was the Temple of Apollo. It seemed only fitting that we had viewed such a spectacular celestial event surrounded by such impressive historic sites.
