Ephesus aka: Efes

I like the geographical location of this city. Bounded on both sides by hills. I can just imagine trying to climb up the hill and watching the main street below.

There is an extra entrance fee to see the homes up on the hill.

Ephesus is extremely touristy. Was greatly annoyed by the tour groups, especially one guide who found it necessary to gather his group in by honking this extremely annoying honkingthingie. It is a very nice site though, especially the library and of course the amfitheatres. If you wander around a bit you can distance yourself from the tousist masses a bit and enjoy the athmosphere. I would advice going very early, if possible, to avoid tourgroups and also the quite warm weather.

This place takes you to the old old days…has a mystic atmosphere…

Amazing place! First spot I visited as soon as I landed in Izmir.

On a cruise, it’s amazing to see the things here!
