After spending two week-ends in Izmir and around, I would say it is a tourist paradise and has a lot to offer: Amazing history, sightseeing, beaches, natural wonders, wonderful city and best is welcoming and cheerful people here. I would say we are having great time, thanks to Çağrı (or Charlie!) for being our host, friend and guide in Izmir.
1st weekend - A trip to Ephesus: a date with history
This city was built before and after 0BC and guide claimed it is only unearth by 10% as of now, but whatever we could see was amazing. Its really unimaginable how these huge stones would have been moved and structures were built. Impressive !

| House of Virgin Mary: It is believed that she lived and died here |
Guide said it is best place in Ephesus to take your photo!
 |
| Wonders of Stone - Library ! |
 |
| That was a downtown - 2000 years ago |
 |
| Theater in Roman Time |
We were told that work is going on for more than 100 years here to restore these buildings with international support. I guess it is not easy to put these pieces of stones together, its a puzzle and all guess.
