Ephesus

Too much wind yesterday to dock at Mykonos, but we welcomed the chance to rest and relax, as today we had a seven hour tour of the ancient city of Ephesus. A well-preserved and relatively intact set of ruins marks this major stop on the Silk Road of Asia. Only 10% of the site is excavated, and much is still being worked on by archeologists at the site, but the mosaics and frescoes are amazingly intact.

We enjoyed seeing the method used to unwind silk from the silkworm cocoon- unchanged for over 3000 years.
