Kusadasi is a seaport in the western part of Turkey. From Kusadasi you are just an hour away from the historic place called Ephesus. According to legend, Epheses or Ephesos was founded by the tribe of the Amazons, great female warriors. The name of the Ephesus is thought to have been derived from “Apasas”, the name of a city in the “Kingdom of Arzawa” meaning the “city of the Mother Goddess”. Ionian migrations to Ephesus began around 1200 BCE and Ephesus is chiefly known as a Ionian Greek city. Later, the Persians came and ruled for many years until the Ionian city-states rebelled against Persian rule in the 5th century BCE. Then Ephesus remained neutral and fortunately escaped the destruction suffered by so many other cities in the area. When you go to Ephesus, you will have the opportunity to see many \u00a0ancient Greek ruins which are simply spectacular.<\/p>\n
