Today we had an early start to be at Ephesus when it opened at 8am. Wow wow wow what an amazing time to be there along with an amazing experience visiting this ancient city.
We were in the amphitheatre on our own and there were only a few people in the Celsus Library.
12 years ago when I was here the Terrace Houses were not open.
Favourite for us all was going into the Terrace Houses. We think we are smart with what we do now but they were so amazing 2000 years ago with incredible plumbing and heating systems. Amazing mosaics and paintings in the houses. The restoration that is happening is out of this world.
Then on the way home we went via Didyma to see the Apollo Temple. That was also mind blowing. The pillars are huge and the temple had 127 of them. The people would walk a 17km road to the temple so a true pilgrimage for them. Some significant prophecies came at this Temple.
Today was a day that was out of this world. So many incredible things to take in.
A highlight of the trip for sure this weekend has been.
