Those mosaics were incredible !!
I always amazes me how these mosaics have survived through the ages!
It sounds like quite the adventure exploring.
Some days were more adventurous than others!
I'm learning so much reading this report! Beautiful views all around and it sounds like excellent service from the proprietors you encountered, especially Ece!
I was very happy with the hotels that we stayed at and Ece was by far the best hostess!
We found the Osborne Lights to be overwhelming crowded as well. Just a wall of people wherever you went. I loved the lights but I think the overall experience would have been more enjoyable with a little more personal space!
That is exactly how I felt!
What and outstanding trip you got to experience. I'm glad you able to have the keys couriered back to Ece- she seemed like such a nice, nice lady. HAHA, I'd visit just to meet her!
I was so relieved that the key situation was able to get handled easily, quickly and cheaply!
Ece was fantastic. She definitely is the difference that put her hotel at the top of our favourites list.
I"m afraid the repeated terrorist attacks may indeed cut into the tourism there. Makes me incredibly sad. They've done such a fantastic job at building it up and to see it be hurt by selfish, misguided people makes me so angry.
Yes, sadly terrorism, the war in Syria and the refugee situation had already had a very major impact on tourism (down by 60% when we visited) and I imagine it will drop even more now. So sad.
