    Not much remains of the Church of the Blessed Virgin. It was built in the late 5th century B.C. The church had various additions over the next five hundred years but fell into disrepair like everything else in Ephesus. Unlike the rest of the site, I could not approach the church ruins for further inspection as the grounds were fenced off. I almost considered this a bit of a tourist trap for this reason but who knows this may change after time.

    Arcadian Way "graffiti"
    by aaron60

    Not truly off the beaten path...this one actually IS the beaten path, haha...but interesting.

    While doing some research on the Net before my trip, I found a web site with a picture of "Christian graffiti". Apparently early Christians carved these markings into the paving stones of the Arcadian Way.

    These carvings were made by totally ordinary people, with no intention of making them last thousands of years. But here they are. Quite impressive considering they are stepped upon by thousands of feet daily. They're not far from where the Arcadian Way meets the Marble Street in front of the amphitheatre.

    For an explanation of the meaning of the graffiti at lower left, go to

  • Temple of Demeter, Priene - Ephesus
    Temple of Demeter, Priene

    Priene was a welcome relief from crowded Ephesus. A dramatic setting with a haunting beauty. There is a peacefulness here. You can hear the wind sighing in the pine boughs. The theatre and the Temple of Demeter are breathtaking.

    Don't miss Priene if you get a chance to visit.
    I'd choose it over Miletus if time were a factor.

    Near Selçuk, after a few kilometers of a road among orchards, we found the nice village of Sirince. The village is surrounded by orchards, vineyards and olive trees.
    On the top there is an old orthodox church. The population of this village was greek before 1922. Then, it was called Kirkintze.
    The old village and the sorroundings are very well described by Dido Sotiriou in her novel "Matomena chomata", (Farewell Anatolia).
