Three days on a luxurious motor coach traveling from Istanbul to Izmir. After short visit to WWI memorial, took ferry across Dardanelles and stayed in a neat, very small hotel in fishing village of Assos. Friday visited Pergamum once richest small kingdom in then Asia Minor (Turkey today) ending up in Izmir for the night. Saturday spent all day in and around Ephesus - considered to be the world's best-preserved ancient city which once had a population of 250,000. Spent second night at Izmir Swisshotel and had a great dinner along the waterfront with our close college friends Mary and Dick Loyer.
