Ephesus Museum and Selcuk photos

  After seeing Ephesus ( Efes ), we went back to Selcuk and took in the museum, where they have most of the amazing statues found at Ephesus and kept safe from the elements.  We found two other tourists, James and Stella, who joined us for the museum and were great company for the next day at Pergamum. Then, "home" to wonderful KALEHAN Hotel, with GREAT food and superb staff.

  Re photos: No flash was allowed in the museum, so the results are fairly grainy.
