Ephesus

On the Tuesday morning we arrived at the amazing site of Ephesus which is in Turkey. As we left the ship an honour guard was formed by some of the locals and wherever we went in Turkey (just 1/2 a day) we were made to feel really welcome. Wouldn't mind exploring this country more in the future. Drum roll, here's the pics.

The welcoming people of Turkey

Our Ship

The god NIKE (pronounced NIKI)

The city is still being excavated

The library

The road where Anthony & Cleopatra once walked

A recreation of Anthony & Cleopatra (for the tourist of course but rather neat)

Check out the ampitheatre that held 25,000 people that is in the background

We visited a carpet factory. What you see here are silk worms!

The Port

  1. I am sure Colin would love Egypt. Turkey is meant to be a really nice place only spent a week there and was quite taken by it.
