    Ephesus

    Posted by Ashling 16 February 2007

    The archaelogical ruins at Ephesus are simply amazing. Frequently on visiting ancient ruins, all you can see is a small bit of rubble.
    However, Ephesus has many buildings including Celsus Library, Roman latrines and an ampitheatre among many other ruins.

    There is a very special atmosphere there and on one section of the road, you can see the ancient worn-in tracks of Roman chariot wheels. A carved effigy of Nike the ancient goddess can also be viewed there. The city is inland and it gets incredibly hot there, so bring plenty of sun lotion and water and remember to wear your hat.

    Any resorts like Gumbet, Bodrum etc run trips there.

    Parque Central Hotel

    Posted by Ashling 11 August 2006

    I highly recommend Parque Central Hotel. It gets too hot to stay out in the middle of the day and it is in a very convenient location for popping in and out.

    Visiting a cigar factory

    Posted by Ashling 11 August 2006

    Behind the Capitalo building there is a cigar factory. Well worth a visit. It is amazing to see how they are actually put together and boxed.
