Ephesus, Afrodisias, and Hierapolis

Went on a wonderful trip to the ancient Roman cities of Ephesus, Afrodisias, and Hierapolis. The trip was sponsored by ARIT (American Researchers in Turkey) and the best part was that it was guided by a local professor of archeology. This meant not only did we get all the history, but we also got to enter all the non-public dig sites, museum back rooms, and other generally closed to the public areas. Those Romans knew how to build a city!! We finished off the tour with a trip to Pamukkale to see the incredible calcium deposits.
