We meet our guide, who with a driver will accompany us on our week-long tour.
The beautiful hotel overlooks the marina and port.
Some relax or wander the town, Kay and Ian opt for the super dooper deluxe version at the local Haman. We are soaped, scrubbed and painted with mud, then melt into an amazing oil massage.
Sunday we visit the ancient site of Ephesus. It's a huge area, with lots of restored area to marvel at. How did they built it all? How was it discovered? It doesn't take much to imagion legions of Romans marching the kilometer-long road to the harbour at Kusadasi.
A yummy lunch of many bits and pieces is served at a small village - definitely not on the tourist trail - then we're treated to fruit wine tastings.
Last stop is at a carpet factory, where we manage to resist purchasing. The silk on silk ones (2x1.5m) take around 3 years to make by the one artist, and cost up to $20,000. They are flung on the floor with the others, spun around so we can admire the change in colours, then we are invited to walk on them in shoes or bare feet ...
