Ephesus (Kusadasi), Antalya, Alanya.
Along with multiple side trips around those cities.
Both were cruise centric.
Also got to see Rhodes. Great island but too many tourists in season. It’s small and when a 3,500 passenger ship docks (along with other smaller vessels) it gets crazy. Decided I would love to go back but, in the off season, and staying on the island for a week.
