Day 110 - There are much nicer beaches back home!

Selçuk – Canberra Hotel

Basilica of St. John

A walking tour this morning taking in the Ephesus Museum, as well as some other ruins closer to the city, including the Temple of Artemis (which has now been taken over by lots of geese),  and the Basilica of St John, which is situated on a hill overlooking the city, where it is believed he sat and wrote the Gospel of John.

After lunch we caught a minibus bus to Pamuchak to visit the beach. We were quite disappointed as the beach was dirty and unkempt, and the sand, although quite fine, was black. We expected to find some normal beach side development like restaurants or cafes, but other than the kiosk at the public beach, all we came across was all inclusive resorts with guards on the gates! That didn’t stop us from using some of their lounge chairs for a little while, while we watched people wearing g-strings (who shouldn’t be wearing g-strings) try hard to get an all over tan.
