Day 4

Enjoy breakfast at your leisure.

9 am: (Group #1 & #2) depart by coach to Termessos.
High and away from the world we know lies Termessos, which sits on top of a mountain valley. The city is in ruin but is massive and has a strong history of a bold and defensive people. The inhabitants we know as Pisidians are prone to battle. So strong was this position and the people fought off Alexander the Great in 33 BC and the Romans allowed Termessos to remain independent from the crushing arm of Rome (as they could not conquer them). The city has much to see and is famous for its Amphitheater, which has spectacular views high in the mountains; it is stunning and a suggested location for fresh bread (procured on our drive) and cheese over a glass of Turkish wine. Our guide will take us through the impressive city that was eventually abandoned due to massive earthquakes that toppled the many structures and tombs.

Return to the resort after the tour.

7:30 pm: You will be transferred to the Montgomerie Maxx Royal Resort where you will enjoy dinner and unlimited local beverages.
