Turkey - Ephesus

Ephesus, in Turkey, was a wonderful place to visit.  It was a thriving port that is now miles from the sea because the Meander River has, over the centuries, deposited silt to create a lush, green valley.  It was where Cleopatra arrived in triumph to, what was then, part of the Roman Empire.  It was a cultural center with the Library of Ephesus.  It was a medical community for healing, and an entertainment/cultural center with open air markets and a stadium.
