Ports of Dikili one day and Kusadasi the next, where we visit Ancient Ephesus

We were unable to anchor off of the Greek Island of Mitilini, so we changed ports to the town of Dikili, a fishing village. The next day we docked at the city of Kusadasi, Turkey, and from there we traveled by bus to the ancient ruins of Ephesus, one of the best preserved ancient cities in the world.

Port of Dikili	Rows of apartment houses	Dancers welcome the ship
The Insignia at Dikili			All lined up
Lots of Turkish flags	I like the Turkish carpets in the boats	A fisherman working on his boat	Bob gets close up and personal
This one could use a little work			At the Dikili fish market--some were still wriggling
I'm not sure what this is	The fish merchant		Here's the tug to send us off again.
We arrive at Ephesus		A small theater
	Ancient ceramic pipes that provided the city's water
	On the main street the throngs descend towards the Library Building
The street was lined with large homes and shops
	Medusa's Image in the center

	Ancient mosaic flooring
Communal (and unisex) bathroom	You could call this a "two-seater"		Bob says it's not great for comfort
The cats don't care	Sarcophagus	The magnificent library building

	Entryway to market from Library plaza
	Looking back up the street from the Library steps	Italian cypress trees in Turkey
Bob loved the designs in the marble	The wild poppies are everywhere	The woman is telling the foot to go THAT way...to the brothel!	Tumbled ruins everywhere
Panorama of the ancient market	To the Theater	The large theater, which seats almost 24,000 people	It's still used for concerts
Road to the sea. In ancient times it was only 1/3 mile away.	Our guide, who thought Bob looked like Stephen Speilberg	Loved this sign	Nancy and friend
"Our" rug salesman	The runner we bought. It's black and red, not brown as it looks in the picture.	We meet our guide again at the rug merchant's.	Schoolchildren gather to watch the crazy tourists
Views from the port of Kusadasi		Kusadasi is a popular resort town.	Kusadasi Kitty
We decide to have a beer before getting back on board		The custom is to bring the check in a lovely little box
