Selcuk Warnings Or Dangers Tips by Snipernurse

If you go to Ephesus, go early

Ephesus is a great experience, and a trip there is a definate must while in Turkey. However I can not stress enough the right way to go about doing this. #1 Do not go on a tour, go on your own accord, this allows you to go on your own pace. Buy one of the many books offered that give descriptions and history of the site, and use that to reference you. #2 Get there when it opens at 8am. The crowds are horrendous once it hits around 9-9:30. Enjoy an hour or so of undisturbed tourism before the hundreds of people all show up at once. Getting there early will also allow you to avoid the blistering heat. Remember that the ocean used to come right up close to Ephesus, and the city used to have an important port there.
