is The Basilica of St John, on top of the hill in Selçuk. The main
reason for this is that from beyond the mosque there is a great overall
view of the ruins of Ephesus.
From this vantage point, the traces of where the original coastline was, and where Ephesus was positioned on it, are obvious. It is important to picture where the Aegean was in order to understand how it became an important trading port. |
