Turkish Lunch and Local Seafood Markets

Turkey

Kusadasi and the surrounding area were rich in Roman and Greek ruins. The Roman city of Ephissus and the amphitheater at Militus were amazing. After touring the ruins of the great temple of Apollo where an Auricle foretold the future some 3,000 years ago, we stopped for a Turkish lunch in a local restaurant.

There were all kinds of vegetable, rice, and potato dishes cold and hot to try. Fish was the piece d’ resistance. Actually most of the women chose “resistance” when it came out plated whole with head and tail still attached. The cats in the place ate well that day. The desert was baklava and was about the same as you find in the U.S.
