Why are we leaving gorgeous Ayvalik, our stunning guesthouse and lovely friends to go and see ruins I wonder as Tania harries me off to the bus stop.<br><br>Two hours later and having checked into a hotel where the owner admits "I am Gobi" (yep really) we trek uphill solidly for the next hour and it's 35 degrees plus. Perhaps this should be called schlepping to Asclepion. <br><br>However, the place was genuinely stunning and it ...

The Nur Pansyion just down the street proved to have nice rooms, a lovely courtyard, great food, and super friendly/helpful staff - a great and lucky find. In Bergama we ignored the sales tactics of a charismatic old man selling his ...

The history and historic sites are as good, if not better than those in Greece. The bazaars are fun, although not entirely hassle free. Turkey really does tourism well.
