KUSADASI, TURKEY |
|
|
|
Kusadasi, itself, is a port of some beauty, and shops near the port are teeming with leather goods, including coats, jackets, dresses, purses, and other fine goods. But the jewel of this port is Ephesus, a city that has been built to splendor more than once. The original city was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and only a tiny portion of that city remains, but the city of 250,000 in the 2nd century A.D. has been largely excavated and preserved. There are the marble streets, with the chariot tracks still there, the facade of the Celsus Library, the Baths, the Theatre, and even the marble seats of the toilets. Ephesus is also the place where the Virgin Mary came with the Apostle Paul after the crucifixion of Christ. Her home can be visited and photographed. (See below.) |
