Kusadasi (Turkey)
A tour to Ephesus should not be missed, for here history comes to life. Walking towards the ancient harbour, along a marble road rutted by the wheels of countless chariots, you pass architectural masterpieces like the Door of Magnesia and the Library of Celsus, before arriving at the Great Amphitheater where St. Paul was arrested before being expelled out of the city. The second century AD was the height of Ephesus, when the Greeks and the Romans lived in the city of about 300.000 inhabitants. It was the second largest city only to Rome.
