Treasures to Be Found in Fes, Morocco.

My journey in Morocco continued with a stop in Fes, the oldest city in the country.

Aphrodisias and Pamukkale: From a Lost City to a Cotton Castle

Aphrodisias is not the most visited archaeological site in Turkiye because it lies a three-hour drive from cruise port Kusadasi or tourist-centric Ephesus. Luckily, my friend and fellow travel writer, Judy Wells clued me in and encouraged a visit to Aphrodisias. To get there, my travel buddy, Judy Shulman and I hired Barefoot Plus Travel to organize a day trip with a car, driver and guide. We also requested a stop at the picturesque white mountain/thermal waters at Pamukkale.
