Visiting one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
Not so long ago we enjoyed some weeks in Turkey - not sure if we may visit this lovely country again. Therefore a small post about one of my favourite travel destination near Izmir.
Ephesus is known as an ancient Greek city at the coast of Ionia. The city was build over 3,000 years ago by Attic and Ionian Greek colonists and became later a part of the Roman Republic.
The ruins are a common target of tourists so we are no exception. In the following some photos I took there after the Goths destroyed the town (the lady in some of the photos belongs to them but is not guilty) in 263 (AD - Ad stands for anno Domini btw - a topic worth another post maybe).
