Efes and Claros

 
It's off to Ephesus once again! This being my tenth visit yet each time holds new memories and new discoveries. Ephesus site is still under excavation and new areas are being unveiled. This time a new area of dwelling houses across from the library was open with a few "untouched" mosaics. 


     If you head out of the hills near Efes and drive to the sea head north to the small site of Claros. This is the site of the Temple of Apollo. During the 1980's the site had some major excavations but the site sits below sea level and the battle to keep it dry has been lost to the powers of nature. This is what  submerged.


Today it looks like this:  quite a tranquil place
