Our first trip to Ephesus was Sept 15 2001 – we had arrived in Istanbul shortly before the attack on 9/11 and connected to a flight to Izmir and by the time we landed the world had changed. Everyone in Turkey was very supportive but at rhe end of the day, don’t have a lot of recollection of the Ephesus visit – outside of trying to act normal.

Ephesus was much more impressive than my limited memory, had a great guide and spent about 2 hours there before returning to the port city of Kusadasi to get hustled at the carpet store. Short visit of about 5 hours total but was enough time to visit the whole site.
The port town of Kusadasi was bigger than I would have thought – spent very little time there and most of the time in the carpet shop.
