Ephesus to the Greek Isles

The Library, at the ruins of Ephesus
Very intricate and well preserved statues and embellishments

And then we took the ferry to the Greek island of Samos


and our local friend, Yorgos, rushed around to catch the sunset for this picture.... and it turns out that you can't see it anyway.



Then we were off to the island of Syros, which used to be a political center for the islands.




The interior of a very colorful Greek Orthodox church





City by the sea






Our hosts drove to the north of the island to show us more of the countryside.







The sign for a pub, which was translated to us as 'Mermaids and Womanizers'.








The courtyard of our hosts' beautiful villa! It was a very relaxing few days.
