  • Anatolian Ephesus

    Ephesus is situated in western Anatolia which is in Turkey today.and the history of city goes back to 5000 years ago till the Amazons..and through out the ages different civilisations left thier cultures and fingerprints on it..while walking in it you can see doric, ionic hellenistic , roman , byzantine buildings and temples..so it s a cradle for all civilisations..to call it Greek - or Turkish is no good..Cos it belongs to human being ..not to a nation or a basic people..Cos the ones survived and built the city faded away in history as we gonna do..

    • Greek yes; then Roman; which is what we ...

      Ephesus has Greek origins, and I did check my guidebooks. From Lonely Planet's Turkey edition at the time of this trip: "Roman Ephesus, the ruins of which lie before you, boasted that it was the 'first and greatest metropolis of Asia'.
      In my video of Greece, I did present Ephesus as Greek, but Roman is more accurate for what survives.
