From Kusadasi we took day trips to Ephesus, Miletus, and Didyma. Ephesus is one of the world's major archaeological excavations.
The focal point of Ephesus is the free-standing façade of the great two-story Celsus Library.
It also features a 25,000-seat amphitheater.
The bus took us up to the Basilica of St. John,
with a view of the fortress.
Then back down to the museum to see artifacts from the site,
including a statue of multi-breasted Artemis.
