The hotel pool.
Turkish meat baaaalllls with sauce and cheese and potatoes.
An assortment of desserts. The ice cream was yummy, similar to Italian gelato.
The hotel had an excellent breakfast bouffet. This was a spinach and cheese crepe; it was scrumptious. Then we have a hot pepper and some fruit. The little stone fruit is a type of Turkish plum. It has the consistency of a green grape, and tastes like a Granny Smith apple mixed with a sweet pepper.
And now for the food... I thought this bread basket got an A for presentation. Plus, you can eat the basket.
The town of Bodrum is known for its fishing and architecture. All of the houses within the town and the surrounding areas of the town are white.
We stayed at a lovely hotel about a 15-minute drive away from town. It overlooked the Aegean sea, and there were oceans of azaleas leading up to the rooms. Here are some shots of the view from the hotel.
The earliest structures in Ephesus were built during the first century BC. Most of the remaining sites are from the first century AD. The city once housed a thriving population of approximately 250,000 people until a combination of invasions (mainly the goths in 262 AD) and earthquakes destroyed much of the city. However, considering the destructive factors involved, the city is still in very impressive shape. I am always amazed to see how much the dark ages set human society back. If such intricate and sound structures could be made in ancient times, how could we have had such a reversal?
