The Temple of Artemis - One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World - the Artemis Temple.

Ancient City of Ephesus - Oh my goodness, let me tell you about Ephesus, the ancient city in Turkey! It is an absolute marvel and a must-visit for history enthusiasts like myself. With its rich historical significance and stunning ruins, Ephesus takes you back in time to the days of the Romans and early Christianity. Walking through the ancient streets, I couldn’t help but imagine what life was like in this bustling city thousands of years ago. The well-preserved Library of Celsus and the Great Theater are simply awe-inspiring. It’s incredible to think that these structures were built so long ago and have stood the test of time. As I explored the ruins, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of connection to the past. Ephesus truly is a treasure trove of history and a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its ancient inhabitants.

Excellent tour in Turkey (Kusadasi) - Had a fantastic tour with our guide Ozan. Very patient and knowledgeable. Could not ask for a better guide. As well travelled as we are, you know that tours and especially guides can be a hit or miss. This, my fiends was a HIT. Frankly, if things go wrong, in all likelihood, the issue is you. Ozan was on time (helps a whole lot if you have WhatsApp (but not mandatory)) for our disembarkation and return to the boat. Bottom line, 5 out of 5 stars.
