Port 2:
Our next stop was Athens, Greece. It was a hot day, but we grabbed our Rick Steve's guide and explored the whole city. From the Acropolis to fried Feta cheese, the four of us took in Ancient Greece in a modern way. Thanks, Rick, for your excellent explanations and restaurant recommendations!

Port 3:
Next, we set our sites on Kusadasi, Turkey, where we hired a private tour to take us to Ephesus. The third cite of the city of Ephesus, the ruins we saw dated back to Biblical times and gave an excellent account of the history of Ephesus. We also went to a farm for lunch where rugs were woven and sold and toured the process of Turkish rug making. Our day was complete after purchasing another Turkish rug for our home!
