Great lights, Greek city. Ephesus is one of the biggest ancient Greek cities in the world that one can visit. The sprawling complex, complete with impressive apartments for the rich folk, is located about an hour south of Izmir in western Turkey.
Ephesus may have started out Greek but morphed into Roman. New guests, new architecture. From 110 AD, built by the Romans, the impressive front facade of the Library of Celsus.
Sculpture remnants at the Memmius monument. One of the hills has a series of fancy terrace houses, most with mosaics on the floors and walls.
Looking through an arch at the ancient, intimate Odeon.
Field o' sarcophagi. Pensive bull.
The giant theater, capacity about 25,000, largest in the ancient world. Mulled wine by the case served.
Covering it up at the Odeon. Solid marble is more like a wrap. The pretty, delicate facade of the Temple of Hadrian.
Line up, grab a hole and relieve yourself.
