We've been trying to visit Ephesus for about 4 years. It was the first rainy day of the voyage, but that didn't stop us. We donned rain gear, umbrellas and met our private car and guide. It was a great way to see this incredible archaelogical site. Even with thousands of visitors, all with umbrellas, we saw the entire site. Out of all the "old rocks", that is what Jim calls all the ancient archaeological wonders we've visited, Ephesus gives you a wonderful insight into how the people lived in the early centuries after Christ.
We made our pilgrimage to Virgin Mary's house and then on to lunch in a Turkish restaurant for an authentic Turkish meal. We've had a lot of interesting food along the way, but this was one of our favorite meals, as we got to pick the fresh fish and other assorted side dishes from cases in the kitchen. Really did love Ephesus.
Another dream come true...to see the tombs of the pharaohs. For over a month, we will explore the ancient wonders of western civilization from Egypt to Britain. We will fly to Cairo and on to Luxor, then we will board Regent Voyager in Safaga, Egypt to sail on to Jordan, Israel, Turkey, Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and England.
Wow!! Impressive!
