I was a bit scared going to Istanbul but upon landing , the country was beyond my expectation. It is very safe and beautiful country. Our tour guide Riza has a very good command of English , very professional and well versed about the history .
I enjoyed the tour very much and my guide was very kind and knowledgeable, but I think it would be better to have fewer commercial excursions and a little more time in Ephesus proper.
