This is our transport of the day, a new mercedes (and yes the air-con worked!!)

Inside of the car.. it could easily fit 4-5 people but really comfortable for the 2 of us.

This was the second entrance, right at the other end of Ephesus, we decided to use that as our starting point in order to avoid the crowds.. it seems everyone else had the same thought too!

The Odeon

The Odeon was built in AD 150 as a small theatre for musical performance and meetings of the town council

Three types of columns found, from right to left, Ionic, Corinthian and a hybrid

This hybrid version, with an animal on top of an ionic column,was thought to be brought by people outside the Roman Empire

The Temples of Dea Roma and Divus Julius Caesar (Temenos)

The prytaneion, ie the town hall of those days

The Memmius Monument was constructed by Memmius for his grandpa Sulla, the dictator. The statues there showed the grandpa and his grandson

Temple of Domitian, dedicated to the Emperor Domitian and later changed to his father when he was murdered.

The round base decorated with garlands carried by bulls’ heads standing in the middle of the Domitian Square was put there about the middle of the 4th century
