Selcuk


And so to Selcuk, for 4 nights. We are going to slow the train down even more with a 4 day stay. We're at the Australia New Zealand Guesthouse, a well known backpackers place with friendly owners and a rambling set of rooms and terraces over 3-4 levels. We've got the 'honeymoon suite' with 'jacuzzi' (it's a bit bigger with a bath) for about 50 bucks a night. Good value for Turkey and a great place to chill.

 After a cruise through town to book tickets and eat eggplant, we're off to the ruins of Ephesus, along with every other tourist in this part of the world. This is Turkey's biggest tourist attraction other than Sultanahmet in Istanbul. The library and terrace houses are amazing, but overall we are a little unimpressed after seeing Aphrodisias. Perhaps the crowds, maybe the unsympathetic restorations in some places, maybe we've just been a bit spoiled. However, still good to do.
