DAY 05 Pamukkale - Ephesus - Kusadasi Breakfast. Departure to Ephesus, visit the best preserved ancient city in Asia Minor According to ancient inscriptions, Ephesus is thought to have been inhabited since around 3000 BC, roughly the same time as Smyrna, and evidence of Ion, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman civilisations are still seen today. The ancient city was a good centre for trading, mainly because of its location close to coast. When the Romans made Ephesus their provincial capital, it became a busy town with great commercial, trading and political importance, and a population that grew to around 250,000. A significant Christian community grew, and the city was visited by some apostles of jesus. It was also the venue of two Ecumenical Councils. But the success of Roman Ephesus began to dwindle, mainly because of problems connected to the harbour, which was the main source of trade. The Cayster River was pushing silt up the harbour and despite attempts to dredge it and rebuild the harbour, the sea was pushed back to Pamucak, 4km away, and therefore Ephesus lost its source of wealth. By the 6th century, the city was unliveable and was shifted near to St John’s Basilica, and by 1090 it was taken over by the Turks. Visit the House of the Virgin Mary, alleged final resting place of the mother of Jesus. Continue to Kusadasi. Dinner and overnight. Day 6 Kusadasi - BURSA - ISTANBUL Breakfast. Departure to Bursa.
