Ending in Kusadasi was perfect for extending beach vacation. Historical immersion followed by coastal relaxation.
Pergamon library ruins were unexpected highlight. Ancient knowledge centers fascinate me more than battlefields.
ANZAC memorial service was moving ceremony honoring fallen soldiers from both sides. Turkish hospitality toward former enemies demonstrates remarkable forgiveness and healing across generations.
Troy horse climbing was silly fun that made epic poems accessible to modern tourists. Sometimes kitsch serves education.
