Day 10: June 24, 2023
Kalimera!!
Second day in our cruise!
We had to wake up really soon to join our morning excursion, the Ancient Ephesus!
So we met our local guide, Kamber, and he took us to the archaeological site of Ephesus. He was really good, giving us a lot of information but with a great sense of humour which made it easier for everyone... Anyhow, the site is truly impressive, there's a lot already done but the estimations are they have only discovered 15% of what the site might contain!! And still today we could see the excavations in course.
Then we made a stop in a shop where the artisans make carpets, even with wool or with silk, and they also showed us the cocoons of the silk worms, developing the silk right there. Finally they took us to the shop and showed us a good number of rags, and they invited the group to walk over the rags to feel the difference among them... They loved it!
Then we got back on the vessel to sail to the island of Patmos, where St. John monastery is, but looks like they preferred staying in the beach!!
Time for dinner now!!
