Ephesus is an amazing ancient city. Umut made the city became alive by explaining what the city layout was, each section of the ancient ruins was used for, and it’s rise and fall. It seems that we could hear the merchants chanting and see people walking on the sacred walk. It was an extraordinary experience.
The walk down to the library was unforgettable. It seems that I could hear people chatting and shops were filled with shoppers. It must have been a busy scene.
Thank you, Umut and Suleyman.
