Day 11: Kusadasi and Ephesus, Turkey

 

< Last Day    Next Day>

 

Today was a highlight of our trip.  We disembarked in Kusadasi, Turkey and toured Ephesus, Turkey.  Ephesus was incredible.

 

  

 

 

The Basilica Stoa

 

 

 

Curetes Street

 

The House of the Virgin is near Ephesus (we were not able to visit the house).  If Mary did live there, she most likely walked down this main road in Ephesus.

 

 

 

The Goddess Nike

 

 

The Goddess Nike was originally on these two columns.

 

 

 

 

 

Temple of Hadrian

 

 

Ancient toilets

 

 

 

Celsus Library

 

 

 

 

 

Ancient Greek Theater

 

 

After visiting Ephesus we visited a silk carpet factory.  While they were showing us rugs a man came into the room and calmly told us that we needed to leave for security reasons.  See the next two photos of what we saw when we exited the building.
