Smyrna - Running on empty and a wild goose chase
... For the second time this day in Izmir, one of its citizens swiped his card for us. What a bizarre ticketing system! Designed only for regular commuters and not suitable for day trippers!
It was dark by the time we got back to Selcuk. Now for the big question. Aphrodisias, Hierapolis, Ephesus and Smyrna. Four in Four. Did we have enough in the tank for yet another? Troy? The answer was No. While Troy was easily the most well known of the lot, it has ...

Yacht life in the Agean Day 3
... So we got in the gulet's tender and headed over. It was entirely ruined and quite interesting with the remains of a cannon still in place. Much of the rest of the structure was in ruins. Later back on the boat we had a visit from the coastguard.
