It was quite a long drive but definitely worth it. Ephesus is simply the best archaeological site in the world and it's astonishingly well preserved.

We only stumbled upon this becuase we were looking for ice creams! The museum is so interesting, and I was astonished to see the wreck from the 14th century BC! I can't even comprehend how old that is!!

My husband and I love shipwrecks and this is a treasure trove of interesting aftefacts, and all inside an awesome castle. You really get a great sense of history walking round this place and the ancient glass was really cool.

Overlooking the harbour it's pretty easy to find!

We visited Bodrum a couple of years ago and enjoyed our trip out of town to the amphitheatre. It's an incredible piece of engineering and since 1973 has been an open air museum. We were told that in its day, it had a capacity of 13,000. We were really excited to hear that the amphitheatre was going to be used in the Gumusluk Classical Music Festival. I'm sure that will be an extraordinary spectacle and would urge anyone travelling to Bodrum to look into it.
