Near Pamulcak (which is most likely being misspelled in these lazy posts) is the very well known Ionian/Roman city of Efes or Ephesus. We went to visit it on our first day in the area but were scared by the hoards of tourists pouring through it, and the number of men hawking their cheap goods, (except for the fresh fig man, he was good). A taxi driver over heard us and suggested we come back the next day because their will be no cruise ship in the Kusadesi harbor and consequently much less tourists. We took his advice and were very happy for it. It is a beautiful site, but maybe a little too well done for our taste. After having such an intimate experince with Teos, seeing all of the theatricality of the tour groups was a touch off putting.
