A day at Milli Park

Kusadasi, House of Mary & Ephesus
... at about 6:30am. I am not sure if it was the sun but our first impression of the port was delighted surprise. We thought Kusadasi (koosh-a-dasee) would just serve as a quick jump off to Ephesus and not offer much in its own right. A small sandstone ...

Addressing the Ephesians
Today we arrived in Kusadasi, Turkey which is the current seaport for the ancient city of Ephesus. Amazingly, when it was first settled some 3000 years ago, it was a seaport, at the mouth of a river. Over the years the river silted in and eventually ...
Kusadasi and Pigeon Island
Kusadasi is a small but popular cruise port in Turkey which is a vacation spot for sun, fun, and shopping. The town is not that big and if shopping is your thing you will not be dissapointed by the shopping, restaurants and pubs. The vendors are not as ...

Kusadasi Turkey (Day 13)
Here we went on an excursion to Ephesus and Mother Mary's house in the hills. Ephesus was great for those of you who like ruins. I do! They say it's better than Pompei. I beg to differ. Pompei is something unique and in my opinion in a much better state ...
