We spent a day in Ephesus and it is mind boggling to think of the time frame of this city--from the ancient Romans and their worship of gods and goddesses to the time of Jesus, still over 2000 years ago, to us walking the same streets they walked.
There was so much to see and pieces of stone laying all over that it is hard to realize that 90% of the city has not been excavated.
This is a piece that shows the goddess Nike. Can you find the Nike "swoosch"?
This is the Great Theater, built to hold 25,000, and was the place that John preached to the Ephesians. We sat in those seats!
We traveled a ways up into the hills and visited the Virgin Mary's home, the place she is to have lived after Jesus died on the cross and told John to take Mary as his mother.
