Ephesus is the best preserved and most extensive classical Greco-Roman city in Asia. At its height, it was the fourth largest city in the Roman Empire - 300,000 inhabitants. I was here in 1970 and since then, the site has undergone continuing restoration. It's a neat neat place.

There is a modern city here. Driving through it to the ruins of historic Ephesus, we chanced upon an Easter parade with some cute paramilitary kids (probably an oxymoron … cute – paramilitary).

And finally I’m blanking here. We walked through a neat village, possibly Kusadasi, where I was able to take some photos of local culture.

These photos were taken in April 2008 mostly with a Nikon D3.
