Turkey and the Asian Continent

Hello from a new continent! Today's journey took us to the port city of Kuşadası, marking our foray into Asia! Nestled along the Aegean Sea, Kuşadası welcomed us with its captivating blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. That being said, the kids were more enamored by the “Genuine Fake” watches, bags and other items that were sold. 🤣

From Kuşadası, we ventured to the ancient city of Ephesus, a remarkable site dating back to the 10th century BC. Walking through Ephesus felt like stepping back in time. Its impressive structures, many still remarkably intact, gave us a glimpse into the rich history and grandeur of ancient civilizations. We also saw the marble carving of Nike, Greek goddess of victory, that inspired the Nike company name and its iconic swoosh logo. Although the library (3rd largest at the time) and the 25,000 seat stadium were supposed to be the marquee attractions, the 2,000+ year old marble toilets may have won the day!
