Taking in Efes (Ephesus), Aphrodisias, Didyma and Pamukkale
To help put this little trip into context we’ve included a road map (in the bottom right hand corner you can place western Anatolia within Turkey). The Greek island of Kos is on the bottom left and just off the map under Marmaris is the Greek island of Rhodes. Starting at Marmaris we headed north east through Tavas towards Denizli….
We skirted west round this rather industrial looking town to Pamukkale (which you can’t see on the map); next we headed west to Aphrodisias (roughly top centre of the map) and then onto Efes, which is by Selcuk (at the very top left of the map); from there we followed the coast down to Didyma, and then back through Milas and Mugla.
- Trip length: three days

The following trip has been recorded by Liz and includes her pics she took along the way. There’s a photo slide show of my pics somewhere amongst that lot.
