Geology
and archaeology of Lycia, Turkey 1
week tour I must know the names of the group by Oct 2011,so please let me know a.s.a.p Leaders:
Dr Jill Eyers and Anthea Gurkan (Turkish archaeologist) Based in:
Olu Deniz, near Fethiye. (in a comfortable, well-run, family hotel with two swimming pools, tennis, a good restaurant, bar, and air conditioning.) Lycia is a
fascinating, beautiful and, as yet, unspoilt part of southern Turkey. This tour
includes the best of all the archaeological sites nearby, as well as the
knowledgeable guidance of our Turkish contact (Anthea) on the local natural
history and local customs and, of course, my own geological gems. This
combination makes the tour quite unique. The tour
itinerary will
include the following:
The cost
of £695 includes almost everything you will need over the
week and is amazing good value: Included: flights Gatwick to Dalaman; transfers from and to the airport in Turkey; all coach transport to sites each day; B&B; 2 picnic lunches, lunch on board our boat on the Lycian coastline day; all archaeological site entrance fees; most morning or afternoon tea/coffee stops; guided tours throughout; the local guide’s costs; 1 boat charter for a full day at the delta at Dalyan; 1 boat charter for a full day along the Lycian coastline. Lots of other things will be added, to surprise you, as they happen! Not included: evening meals, drinks, insurance. To
reserve a place on this tour please send a cheque for £100 deposit made
payable to 'Dr J. Eyers' at the address below. Note that the name for your
ticket given to me must be exactly as it appears on your passport. We usually
use scheduled flights if possible, or a good operator as available at the time of
booking. Full details of the tour operators to
be used (and their ATOL or ABTA
numbers) and a full programme, plus a formal booking form, etc will be sent to you by
return on enquiry. For further information: contact Jill or write to: 13 Pusey Way, Lane End, Bucks, HP14 3LG Some images from the tour:
