Ancient City of Teos

Yesterday we decided to extend our cruising time to make it to Sigacik and pull into Teos Marina. We looked at a weather forecast and decided that with the winds picking up we didn't want to get caught in a storm. Glad we did, the winds are around 35 - 40 knots and the marina is a very good place to be. We are tied up right by the pool and have spent a lot of time lounging and swimming. The ancient Sigacik Castle was built here in the 1500's. Also Teos has a natural port that has been used since 1000 BC. Today we went to the Sigacik Castle, a Bazaar was held within the walls. The locals brought their produce and handcrafts, it was like going back in time a thousand years. We ate handmade gozleme for breakfast, which is meat, cheese, peppers and onions, wrapped in a thin crust that is folded into squares. Very delicious! And only 3 Turkish Lire, what a deal. We plan to go to Ephesus in a couple of days, can't wait.
