The tour was from Mar. 19 to Apr 6, 2006. The eclipse was Mar. 29. We spent a week initially in Istanbul, then flew to Antalya on the Mediterranian coast, near where we viewed the eclipse. We then made our way back west along the Med, and a short distance up the Aegean coast to Izmir.

Eclipse viewing, Phaselis, and some of Bodrum in the next set. We had time to enjoy Bodrum on our own, so it was one of our favorite stopovers.

A few general views and our favorites from Ephesus in the third group, below. Ephesus is a gigantic site, where we would have liked more time.
