A moment in time - Kusadasi

---

This was our 4th cruise port stop. We took a 7.5 hour tour for this stop since there was a lot of ground to cover beyond the dock. We put our feet and eyes on some of the oldest and most amazing ancient roman ruins. We had no idea Turkey was so rich with ancient roman history.

Our first ancient site was Ephesus. At first glance it looks like a bunch of rubble. Well, all the ancient ruins look like rubble; however it’s the age, detail and massiveness that make these places so remarkable.

We spent very little time actually in the town of Kusadasi. The hour we spent was a little uncomfortable, only due to the very pushy and persistant salesmen. We were the last cruise stop for the season and thier last chance to make some tourist income. We felt so bad, but could not afford rugs, and such to help them out. My only disapointment of the trip is we could not find a Donor Kabob vendor. Donar Kabobs are Yummy and would have been great to have one from place of orgin.
