Ephesus

We spent a wonderful day at Ephesus near Selcuk Turkey. The ruins are amazing and vast. The site is very well preserved, and it is amazing the plumbing, architecture, art and advanced lifestyle the ancient city had. Ephesus was originally a port city, but now is 6 miles from the ocean. It died out when the bay silted in and it was seized after the death of Alexander the Great. The city was in existence for hundreds of years, and with the expansion of Christianity in the 4th century AD the construction of may important religious  building where constructed. Ephesus was considered to be one of the 7 wonders of the world. We enjoyed a drive to Selcuk also. So much to see!
