Hi Marko,<BR><BR>You've forgotten to put it under TURKEY.<BR>It is not that bad but I haven't travelled with the ferry so it may be too long and boring.<BR>Also Turkey trip you have lots to see and drive a lot in a very short time so I hope that you and the kids don't get tired and sick.(Only 2 days for Istanbul?)<BR>Where are you going to stay in Gallipoli?<BR><BR>Good Luck!<BR><BR>Banu<BR>

Marko Apr 3rd, 2003 01:56 PM

Banu,<BR>We actually spend 4 nights and three full days in Istanbul. We will probably stay in Cannakale and do Gallipoli as a long day trip. Limited time frames always mean a bit of hurrying but we always set aside days of nothing !!

There is no direct ferry link from Santorini to Marmaris or Bodrum.<BR><BR>You should try to reach Kos island from Santorini, and then an other ferry from Kos to Marmaris

thank you...invaluable information!

Is Kos worth a day ??

You could also fly from Santorini to Rhodes, which is definitely worth a day, and then take a (short) ferry ride to Marmaris.

Koa ia ok. I liked Samos also which is a short boat ride from kusadasi. Be careful what you eat and drink in Turkey. I would personally spend less time in Cannakale and add another Greek island.

Marko May 5th, 2003 04:10 PM

good idea !! I didn't think about the direct flight to Rhodes !!

It takes about half an hour.

There is a ferry from Rhodes to Marmaris

It takes about 1 hour.

Have a nice holiday

If you're going to Canakkale, be sure to take a side trip out of town to Truva, &quot;Ancient Troy&quot;. This is real history. It is a short bus ride away from Canakkale. You can walk through it in a couple of hours.
