We went to Ephesus quite a few years ago, it was one of the most memorable places I have ever seen. I think it is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. We went on a 2 day
excursion and visited Pamukalle, Cleopatras pool and the shrine of the Virgin Mary. I have forgotten how much it was but it was worth going whatever the cost.
I have posted some pics of Ephesus on the Photos section a while ago, One word of warning, it was a very hot day when we went to Ephesus and there is really no shade so take a hat, or perhaps an umbrella like some Japanese people I saw.
