			BODRUM The Crusaders passed through (and stayed in Bodrum), leaving a magnificent castle behind. The castle houses a marine archaeology museum, as well as a potters workshop.

			EPHESUS Ephesus was the largest city of ancient times. Approximately 500,000 people lived here 2000 years ago - half slaves and half free. Ephesus was originally a port city; but years of silting and earthquakes have taken their toll. Ephesus is now about 16 km inland.
