Ephesis

I cannot believe I have had the opportunity to go to a place like Ephesis. If you ever get the chance, make sure you go!!!

What is Ephesis and why is it so great?

Ephesis was a metropolis over 2000 years ago. There were actually 5 locations of Ephesis (the city kept changing locations due to Malaria, earth quakes, etc). We toured Ephesis in its 3rd location. Ephesis was home to such historical figures as Alexander the Great, Mark Anthony and Cleopatra, St Paul (he preached in Ephesis and if you are familiar with the Bible you may have heard about the Letter to the Ephesians?), also St John (aka the John who wrote the gospel), as well as the Virgin Mary apparently spent her last days on earth in Ephesis. It is really cool to see.

It is definitely worth the money to see it!!
