Crossroads Travel Tour
Excellent travel company that we used for other tours as well. We saw Pergamom, Troy and Gallipoli peninsula. Our guide for Galipoli was a retired professor and though fascinating, ended up saturating us with information. Most knowledgeable guide of our month long trip. We changed buses at Gallipoli and travelled 5+ hours to Istanbul. Still had time to explore the city for a few hours before lights out. There was not much to see at Troy but still worth going. Some walls were 4500 years old! Pergamom has incredible history and vistas.Ashbeth-May 2012Independent tour with CROSSROADS Travel
We stayed in Siringe, near Ephesus...our guide, Begum, was with Crossroads Travel. Begum is a beautiful young woman, so friendly and warm, spoke perfect English, and we just loved her from the minute she arrived at our hotel to pick us up for our tour!!!!! She knew everything there was to know about Ephesus, Priene, and Didyma- the main sights we went to in the area. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Begum from Crossroads Travel in the Ephesus/Kusadasi area. We were so sad to have to say goodbye to her- after only 2 days together, she felt like an old friend!June 2013We enjoyed a day tour through the Goreme valley and saw a lot.
It does not matter what part of cappadocia you see first, it is all truly amazing for a first time visitor to Turkey. There were several highlights, the open air museum was also one, and if you do enter this museum, do not forget to spend the extra 8TL to see the dark chapel, the frescoes are amazing and it is no wonder that photos are not allowed, so just get some postcards! The tour was a nice size of 13 people and the tourleader was quite helpful.Henk W-May 2013Ephesus a must see
We did a day tour of Ephesus with Crossroads Travel Tours including lunch (mediocre), Turkish carpet shop and leather factory. Our guide (Specky?) had excellent English and was incredibly knowledgeable with a good sense of humour. Ephesus is very close to Kusadasi but would recommend staying in smaller Selcuk. This site is phenomenal and the history extremely interesting. Our guide made it come alive. There is a lot of walking but mostly flat surface. The pace was excellent whether you are active or not,Ashbeth-May 2012Turkey, Ephesus, Early Churches, St. Mary's House
We went on a tour for 13 days via Crossroads travels covering Turkey, Patmos and Athens. I would strongly recommend Crossroads travels and all were well organised and more over they are ready to tailor make your package to suit your budget and interest. Istanbul was a short stay as I was scared of the recent protest but found it safe. Kusadasia and the ancient churches Ephesus, Sardis, Smyrna (Izmir), and Philadelphia were really interesting and spiritually nourishing. We also visited St. Mary's house, St.Johns tomb and the 7 sleepers where many saints were buried. Kusadasia has other attractions but the Ada aqua park is not worthy for the money spent and not comparable to what you see in Singapore or Melbourne.Shanthan-August 2013Ephesus a must see
