A Time Travel Into History....

Turkey is the only country in the world situated in two continents: Europe and Asia and the way these two cultures merge is one of the many reasons I found Turkey fascinating!





Here I am in front of what was once the Celsus Library, in the ancient City of Ephesus.
















Could you believe that right here, on this stone, there used to be sacrifices to the Gods?




Inside the Ancient City of Ephesus






Just out for a walk inside the city....











Here is the House of Mary, where its believed Virgin Mary spent the last years of her life

This is St. Sofya, a beautiful church turned mosque. Inside, I was speechless and fascinated with its beautiful interior

During the tour, I had lunch at a small town restaurant. This turned out to be one of the best meals I had in Turkey. The 1st picture is the front of this restaurant and the other was taken with the owner and his staff

HOW ABOUT SOME TURKISH COFFEE!!!
�

Turkish coffee is served hot from a special coffee pot called a cezve. Tradition states that after the guest has consumed the coffee and the cup is turned upside down on the saucer and allowed to cool, the hostess then performs a fortune reading from the coffee grounds remaining in the cup.
