I
met up Sunday evening with my trip mates at Rebetika Hotel in Selcuk. Selcuk is full of “old rocks” as they
say. There is a Roman castle right next
to the St. John’s basilica (eh hem, that would be THE St. John who is
purportedly buried there) next to the Isa Bey mosque. Monday was a full day, starting with
breakfast on the roof. The Isa Bey
mosque is in the background.
Next was a short but uphill shake down ride to the hill town
of Sirince, followed by a visit to Ephesus.
If you have to spend time among “old rocks” this place would get my
vote. It would take a tome to describe
what happened here. It is one of the largest archeological sites
in the world and the amphitheater seated
25,000 people (which are usually sized to serve 10% of the population). And check out the library.
Next to the Hamam (Turkish bath) for a thorough scubbing. Clean and happy!
