This was a very special day. We started with a visit to Mary’s House. It is believed she came here with John after Jesus died. There is a lovely chapel there.
From here we went to Ephesus, the best preserved and most visited site in Turkey. Wow could they build cities back then…it was enormous and so much has been rebuilt. It must have been a city to behold when it was in full swing 3rd century BC to 6th Century AD. We then met Michelle, Mark’s sister who drove us to her home in Bodrum.

St John held a introduction to Christianity in the arena and the Aphescians sent him packing and he escaped through this tunnel!
