Ephesus

We spent time discovering Ephesus on our way between Gallipoli Peninisula and Kusadasi.
The weather was really hot and dry -so bring lots of water. There are guys selling it there, but prices are 'touristy'.

Ephesus is an ancient Ionian Greek city; its ruins lie near the modern village of Selcuk in Western Turkey. It was situated south of the Cayster River, and was the site of the Temple of Artemis. Traditionally founded by the Carians, it was one of the 12 Ionian Cities and was involved in the Persian and Peloponnesian wars.
It was taken by Alexander the Great c.334BC and prospered throughout the Hellenistic period. It passed to Rome in 133 BC; under Augustus it became the capital of the Roman province of Asia.
It was an early seat of Christianity, visited by St. Paul, and the recipient of the Epistle to the Ephesians. The Goths destroyed the city and temple in AD 262; neither ever recovered. There are extensively excavated ruins at the modern site.

 Excellent page. I’m so glad that on our visit, the weather was not so hot! I’ used to the San Francisco fog.
