What to expect

This full day tour shows off two of the region's most important archaeological sites in all their glory. There's also free time at a fantastic beach and a tasty local lunch near Gizlikent waterfall to look forward to. Leyla, one of our expert local guides, says, "Ancient Tlos is home to some fine examples of the rock-hewn tombs we see around this area, always carved high up to bury people closer to the Gods. I also love spending time at Patara - one of the most beautiful beaches in this part of Turkey."You'll head to Ancient Tlos first. Boasting relics that stretch from the Lycian to Ottoman periods, it's a great place to explore. Leyla says, ‘It is not known exactly how long ago Tlos was founded, but the discovery of a bronze hatchet dating from over 3,000 years ago gives you an idea.' Located on a sloping hillside, it's a compact site but contains a remarkable number of ruins including rock-cut Lycian tombs, a theatre, Roman baths and much more to admire. After, you'll visit Gizlikent Şelalesi waterfall for some free time and lunch at a nearby restaurant.It's on to ancient Patara next, to explore the ruined city which dates back to the 8th century BCE. It was once an important harbour for the Lycian League, playing a significant role in politics and trade. Notable for being the birthplace of St. Nicholas – better known as Father Christmas – Patara features well-preserved ruins like the Triumphal Arch and Bouleuterion, offering insights into the past. After your visit, head to the golden sands of Patara beach for some time to relax.

Insgesamt viele Infos erhalten, leider nicht alle Ausgrabungen begehbar. Im Sommer steht man oft in praller Sonne.

This was amazing tour guide was brilliant very know his stuff and was super friendly. He gave us the option to stay longer if we wanted and offer to take pics of the family for use too. Made sure noone was left behind during the walk and constantly asked if anyone wanted to stop for a drink/toilet break. He involved everyone on the tour and during free time he walked around to offer his help answer questions and make sure we was all safe. He was the best this tour was amazing because of him

Gut gefallen: - die Quad-Tour am Wasserfall - Auswahl beim Mittagessen mit Vorbestellung - sehr netter Guide - sehr interessante Tour Nicht so gut gefallen: - standen niicht auf der Liste; daher anfänglich Verwirrung - defekte Mikrofonanlage im Bus - rutschige Steine bei Tlos; nochmals Teilnehmer auf festes Schuhwerk; teils Handlauf wäre für Ältere schön - der Sand in Patara war so heiß; Teilnehmer auf Badeschuhe hinweisen

Poor

Spent most of the nearly 10hrs on a bus with small seats, not comfortable. The archeological site had a very steep climb to the top only suitable for fit people Lunch was uncomfortable, sat on the floor on mats with no table to eat on, subsequently had to eat with plates on our legs, my wife burned her legs on the hot plate, although trout was good it was accompanied with horrible salad and cold spaghetti which we left. Waterfall was not suitable for any ages having to wade rocks/ water.

It was everything the tui rep said it would be - and more. The waterfall experience and the antiquity sites were high points for me. 100% would recommend - worth every penny.

Our guide was excellent. He shared loads of information about the areas we were visiting and those that we passed through. Obviously the locations we visited were fixed but he gave a great deal of flexibility about what we did at each site. The food option was pretty good for an ‘included lunch’ Although we had to pay for drinks these weren’t expensive. The waterfall was unbelievable - take jelly shoes or rent some there. River rafting option was fun but no time to get changed and on coach

Dla mnie wszystko bylo bardzo ciekawe i interesujace. Ja mialam osobisty problem, poniewaz nie jestem angieskojezycz i nie do konca zrozumialam przewodnika. Niestety ten problem dotyczy Polaków starszego pokolenia a jeszcze bardziej jezeli, ktos podrózuje sam. Pozdrawiam

Enjoyed learning about the history of Turkey and the ruins at Tlos and Patara. The walk to see the tombs at Tlos requires good shoes and care but we were warned of this. Lunch and waterfall walk at Gizlikent were good with options to participate in other activities such as a zip wire, river rafting and quad biking. Patara beach was ok. Windy and start of season so facilities not fully functional. Elif our guide was very knowledgeable, approachable and flexible.

Waterfall was very difficult to get to and involved a large amount of steps and very difficult terrain which I wasn’t warned sufficiently about. I had to give up on the way and put a lot of effort into it without seeing it. Excellent lunch.

Ignore the comments about this being a wet and wild tour. It’s not. It’s a visit to fabulous historical sites plus a walk through a cool, lush gorge to a waterfall. Elif is a fantastic guide with deep knowledge of the area’s history and archaeology. We loved Tlos and Patara. Gizlikent Gorge with lunch was a welcome break from the mid-day heat. Lots of walking. We were tired at the end of the day. We could have done without the visit to Patara beach but others in the group liked it so hey-ho…

An amazing day out! The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and a lovely person. Tlos is a stunning site with layers of history mixed together and the views are beautiful. The gorge and the waterfall was a fantastic experience. Water shoes or trainers you don't mind getting wet are a must, wading up to the waterfall is uneven in places but great fun & the waterfall is all the reward you need. Lunch was well cooked and the service good. We choose to spend 2 hours at Patara beach. 5* trip
