Visit the Great Theatre, where St. Paul preached against the pagans and gladiators once fought.

Very very excellent - Everything was great. Taylan was a phenomenal tour guide. He was very knowledgeable. Took us to Great Places. He was especially helpful when I purchased a rug. I could not have asked for a better experience, and for a better tour guide. Everything was excellent They do need better air conditioning in the vehicle.
