Med Cruise - Apr 06 - Day 10 - Izmir (Turkey)
Sunday – 9th April – Izmir (Turkey)
Reached the third largest city of Turkey (5 million people). Had to bargain like hell with the cabbies, including an unpleasant one. Drove 100 kms out of town, to the house of mother mary, the last house of the lady who was the mother of Jesus Christ. Then we drove to Ephephus, the ancient town, which gained prominence during the Roman rule, as it was a major city for the Romans in the Asia Minor region. Saw spectacular and breathtaking ruins. Back at Izmir, we went to the fort at the top of the town and were regaled with amazing sights of the city. Ended the trip with wonderful kebabs at a local shop. Yum !
