Ephesus - Turkey

Library

Ephesus is excellent - rich wonderful ruins with wide paved streets in marble. There was an excellent theatre which has been sufficiently restored so that it can be used for performances today.

The other site which was fascinating was the public conveniences - most of which seem in better condition than some of the local conveniences. The silted up former harbour area is a flat unproductive area and salt apparently still leaches from the soil after 2000 years.

Famous biblical figures passed through this town as did Anthony and Cleopatra. Take the virtual tour.
