Honestly this was an amazing trip and we'll worth the money. The Blue Eye Spring now is quieter in terms of crowds as out of peak season so absolutely beautiful with no rush to take it all in. Sunset at Lekursi Castle was also a beauty it itself and we got a good summary of its history. Really great experience!
