Ephesus, Turkey - UNESCO World Heritage Site

 Place: Ephesus, Turkey

Weather: Partly cloudy skies, 56/76F.

Route: From Hierapolis 193 km west on D320.

Significance: As several of our recent places, Ephesus was also a Greek and then Roman city. It was best known as the location of the Temple of Artemis, one of the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World." Not much is left of the temple, but there are many other impressive sites - such as the huge theatre, the two story facade of the Library of Celsus and the Temple of Hadrian.
