Last week we book the Private Pamukkale and Aphrodisias tour from Istanbul by Travel bazaar. It took our whole day to do this tour but definitely it worth. At the first we thought to go Pamukkale only but after making conversation with Emin, we decide to go Aphrodisias also (: I am glad to make this desicion. The Tetrapylon has to be seen once. We just go into raptures from the history of Aphrodite. All the arrangements well done by Emin as he promissed. Our guide, Nizam, was amazing. In my opinion, the guide can not be more informative than him. I have no idea how he knows all this things. The thing I know is that he is more than an encyclopedia. As a result, the package is worth for every penny.
