The facade of the library at the ancient Greek and Roman city of Ephesus, near present-day Selçuk, Izmir Province. Probably the nicest of the ruins there.

Me walking around the ruins of Ephesus and thoroughly enjoying the day

Public toilets of the past – apparently the rich people used to get their servants to warm up the cold marble seat before they’d go and use it

The beautiful white calcium terraces of Pamukkale (literally translated ‘Cotton Castle’)

People swimming among the Hierapolis ruins in the thermal pools of Pamukkale. Too bad we didn’t have time to go for a swim.

The amazing view of the mountains from Pamukkale

One of many charming cafes in the Mediterranean city of Antalya

A cute cocker spaniel greeting us at the entrance of one of the cafes

Fantastic view of the mountains surrounding Antalya and the Mediterranean sea
