todo magnifico fue impresionante el paseo por efeso y la casa de la virgen maria donde se dice que vivio sus ultimos dias es un lugar bastante espiritual me gusto les doy un diez por la gran lavor que hicieron con nosotros en tan poco tiempo consiguieron que vieramos mucho…..
Fuimos en diciembre que supuestamente es uno de los meses de temporada baja debido al clima frío, y era bastante bloody frío con luz llovizna, pero porque estaba justo después de Navidad, el lugar estaba bastante lleno. No me puedo imaginar lo que es durante la temporada alta. Pero si tienes paciencia suficiente, es posible que puedes conseguir fotos de un lugar quieres simplemente por ti mismo.Si tienes paciencia, puede tomar un gran cuadro o dos de la hermosa Celsus Biblioteca dentro de esta antigua ciudad gratis, o casi gratis, de otros viajeros o turistas, pero tienes que ser paciente. Quizás esto es imposible durante la temporada de verano jaja …
Tras la Celsus Biblioteca, podrá caminar a lo largo de la calle de mármol y encontrará algún tipo de construcción/sitio de extracción a la derecha. parece prohibido entrar, obviamente, por razones de seguridad, pero he visto un par de turistas entrar a escondidas y tomar el camino bastante empinada esta estructura prohibida y estoy seguro la vista desde allí es bastante increíble. Si intenta valiente, que no oír desde aquí …
Fui con mis parientes aquí y, como algunos de ellos no son muy aficionados a la historia y están más interesados en los espectaculares paisajes naturales, Éfeso es algo interesante, pero no está tan bien como otras atracciones en Turquía para ellos. la verdad vale a cien porciento todo centavo pagado
