My Old Minivan

I had an older model minivan before I bought the Caravelle. It was a good friend which I had for nearly 4 years. The pictures below show it with the roof box, I mentioned above, used for extra luggage. I still keep the roof box and will mount it on my present vehicle in case you need it.

When you are with me, just tell me where you want to go, then sit back and relax! You decide what you want to discover; silent bays, hidden churches or an ancient Lycian city. You don’t have a specific plan in mind? No worries! I will supply you with ideas!
