While on active duty with the U.S. Navy I was stationed in Sinop, Turkey, a small traditional city on the Black Sea coast.  I lived and worked there for some 1.5 year starting in beginning in of 1983.  While there I had occasion to travel this ancient and beautiful country and one of the places I visited was the ancient Roman city of Ephesus on Turkey's north Western coast on the Mediterranean Sea.   I traveled to the city by car with a friend to the city during the second summer of my stay, and later drove up the coast to Istanbul.

We traveled by plane and bus from Sinop to get to a sleepy...

Ephesus is certainly an awe-inspiring destination and is well-worth a visit if you are in Turkey. The one drawback is that it is difficult to reach and requires either a pricey flight or a harrowing 12-hour bus ride. Since it isn't close to many other tourist sites you really have to commit to visiting it. But the grandeur of the city is amazing. So take that crazy bus ride and go see history reveal itself.

The Mother of all ruins.  Huge....and with that, Ephesus is said to contain the largest collection of Roman ruins in the eastern Mediterranean region with only an estimated 15% of the site having been excavated to date.  It's phenomenally large.  Spectacular to ogle and ponder even if you didn't bother to find out what everything was.  But if you're there, you have to.

The ruins that are now visible give you some idea of the city's original composition, and the names associated with the ruins are a reminder of its former status as a major port of the ancient world. The Library of Celsus dominates...

Ephesus is in such a beautiful quiet country setting. I took a horse drawn cart up to the top of the site and got to walk down rather than going in the main entrance and having to walk up I had seen a lot of pictures of the Library ruins, but did not realize that I would be the Lone Ranger looking around it. Samr for the amphitheater. I was the only person sitting in it. Going off season (April) probably didn't hurt. There were thousands of red poppies blooming throughout the ruins - stunning!
