Tour of Turkey arranged by City Of Sultans

We found City Of Sultans on the Internet, and made all of our arrangements for a 9 day stay in Turkey through them. The visit worked out very well. We spent 3 nights at a hotel in old Istanbul and 5 nights at a beach hotel in Kusadasi. For us, not changing hotels every day was a big plus, but we went out every day on tours arranged by City Of Sultans

Eren was our guide for the first day in Istanbul, and he took us up the Golden Horn, to the Financial Distrrict, the new town and along the Bosphorus by road, back to the new town. His knowledge of Istanbul became evident very quickly. The second day, Eren took us to the Blue Mosque, St Sophia and Topkapi Palace. Again, his knowledge of the history and culture was amazing. He also was able to bypass the lines that the large tour groups were in, which saved us a lot of time and frustration. In one day, we saw twice as much a s the average large group

City Of Sultans arranged internal air flights to and from Izmir, and transportation to meet us and take us to our hotel at Kusadasi. The hotel was great, right on the beach with wonderful views and the only noise was the waves running onto the beach at night. We had a tour each day, first to Ephesus, with Yeliz, which was great. What an amazing place, and made so much better by having a wonderful guide who knew so much detail. The second day, we went to Pamukkale, which has natural beauty with massive limestone deposits, and also Greek and Roman ruins right beside them. Guray took us there, and his knowledge of the area we travelled through, plus Pamukkale itself was great. Third day we went to Pergamon, the ancient capital of the Kingdom by the same name. Yeliz was our tour guide on that trip also, and came through once again with her knowledge of the history, culture, development and eventual decline of Pergamon. Our last day was a â??free dayâ?? and we caught the local bus to a National Park 30 km south of Kusadasi. We saw wild pigs and lots of natural beauty in the canyon and on the beaches

No complaints (except maybe taking airplanes too early in the morning â?? which means arriving at the hotels and having to wait to get into your room). The arrangements made by City Of Sultans were very good. They took care of us from the time we arrived in Istanbul until we left. We have some great memories of Turkey and thank City Of Sultans very much for helping to make it so enjoyable.
