Selçuk and Ephesus

After Cannakale, we head south east to Selcuk – the geography is changing, getting more and more mountainous and some of them are dusted with a fine snow. Just out of Selcuk is the ancient city of Efes (Ephesus), which is supposed to be the ‘jewel in the crown’ of Turkish ruins. It lives up to its reputation and more - nothing less than amazing. There is well preserved and still in tact buildings.


The foot (photo below) is first century advertising – indicating the way to the brothel, definitely important information. But the weather has turned cold – wind is blowing pretty hard from the North across fresh snow, so we are informed. Feels like it too! Time to head south to (hopefully!) warm weather and the sea.
