Posted by Elizabeth. We flew into İzmir last night. Turkey definitely feels different than the rest of Europe (you know you're not in Paris anymore when the call to prayer wakes you up). But similar too. İzmir is on a protected bay in the Aegean Sea just east of Greece and about an hour flight south of Istanbul. Many people use this as a base to explore Ephesus and the beautiful beaches on this coast. |

We met the Wilkes Silverman family here and the nine of us are spending about 10 days exploring western and southern Turkey. Today we drive to Selcuk to visit Ephesus and then on to Pamukkale.
I'm sitting on our deck this morning listening to the city sounds and looking out over the bay (photo below). Pretty heavenly. There are ferries crisscrossing the bay which makes me feel right at home.
