Today we were in Kusadasi. From there it is only 25 minutes to Ephesus. We couldn't miss that 😀. Really very impressive. The oldest traces of human settlement go back to the 7th millennium BC. And what has happened in the last 2000 years..... You can't imagine who may have walked over these stones 😀
