Then the trip stops for a delicious lunch before continuing to the nearby Isa Bey Mosque, a fine example of 13th Century Turkish architecture which was built using stones from Ephesus. Close by is the marvelous Temple of Artemis, which was once classed as one of the Wonders of the Ancient World and must definitely not go amiss!
