Turkey is a land of beautiful people, landscape and history. So very glad my sister and I visited it last November and yes, I totally agree with you, Ephesus is one of those historical places that one must visit. Thank you very much both for the wonderful down the memory lane visual and narration of Ephesus.

I visited Ephesus when I was in Turkey in dec 2018, however the tourist guide did not explained as clear as both of you did, I think the guidebook that you bought from the hotel was very very useful indeed, .. as always .. although your vlog only provided a brief explanation of the place you visited but it is enough to give us a clear picture of the historical background as well as to stimulate our mood and interest to go visit turkey and Ephesus again .. good job Joao and Christiana .. take care and stay safe always 💕🐈💕

Thank you so much, yeah the history of Ephesus is so long up until today we are still reading about it and discovering/learning more, with almost 3000 years of history is quite difficult to explain or mention everything in a short video (it would have been a documentary otherwise 😂) so we decided to just to give an insight of Ephesus and mention things we found interesting along the way 😁

That's where it inspired sports giant NIKE to have it's swoosh logo from...from the trailing soft robe of the goddess Nike carving. Another was the universal symbol of medicine, the spear and snake twisted around it. Followed a guide who was explaining to a group of tourists there. :)

Ephesus was mentioned in the bible (for example) and was also mentioned it in books and/or papyrus, Ephesus was well known and “talked” about back in the days. The archeologists studying Ephesus have a rough idea of what it used to look like by the fragments and ruins they find, even before Ephesus was re-discovered and excavated people already knew the existence of it by the evidence that had been found.
