Turkey – Izmir & Ephesus

The first thing we noticed when we arrived in Turkey was that there were no…
  • Air traffic controller strikes that shut down air travel throughout the country (like in Spain)
  • Student protests & riots (like in Italy)
  • Labor protests & riots (like in Greece)
Obviously, we thought we were in the wrong country!

Seriously, the area of Turkey that is around Izmir is beautiful. Izmir is the 3rd largest city in Turkey. We’d like to go back & spend more time there someday.

During our stay we visited the ruins of Ephesus, hit a carpet factory, saw much landscape (lots of oranges being grown) & did a bit of shopping.
