You could take a trip to Izmir to see the Roman remains at Agora (<a href="http://www.sacred-destinations.com/turkey/izmir-agora.htm" class="postlink">http://www.sacred-destinations.com/turkey/izmir-agora.htm</a>) and there is an Archaeological Museum there too.<br /><br />when I'm in Turkey I prefer to rent accommodation rather than stay in hotels as it saves money on food etc. Lots of websites like <a href="http://www.casamundo.co.uk/turkey/" class="postlink">http://www.casamundo.co.uk/turkey/</a> offer this service. http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/#post-298 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 11:48:08 +0000 jenny31 298@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ Selcuk is the closest town to Ephesus. It is close to Izmir airport too. <br />There are daily tours to Ephesus from Selcuk. You can easily arrange this from your hotel. Just make sure, it is a guided tour. <br />If you are planning to spend couple of days for Ephesus, I would suggest you to take a guided daily tour on your first day. They give very good introduction and cover all the major sites. Other days you can travel by yourself. It is very big and you can easily spend 2-3 days if you are a keen history lover. <br />Other than Ephesus, <br />-there is another ancient city called Nysa. It is probably 1 hour from Selcuk, after Aydin (another big city). It is not famous and well kept like Ephesus but it is well worth to travel. <br />-Pamukkale is not an ancient ruin but you must see it if you are in the region. It is another magical area in Turkey. See the pictures here <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=pamukkale&amp;w=all">http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=pamukkale&amp;w=all</a><!-- m --> <br />-Sirince is small a village famous for its old greek houses and homemade wine. Spending a night with a friend is very nice in this small village. <br />There are lots of places to see around but all depends on how much time you are willing to spend. <br />good luck with your trip http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/#post-297 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 11:25:37 +0000 andrea 297@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ hi, <br />I\'m very much interested in archeology especially in ruins and I choose my vacation every year to the places that are having ruins. <br />This time I am going to Ephesus maybe this year end and looking for the info. on other surrounding historical sites of Ephesus other than the ruins, <br />are there any daily tours available to visit all, please suggest if you know any. <br />many thanks for any help! http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/topic/how-do-i-travel-in-turkey#post-57 Sat, 14 Apr 2007 01:26:26 +0000 skip 57@http://www.iwasinturkey.com/forums/ use the bus system.
