I am always fascinating by the people who live so closely to the remnants of antiquity. Or more accurately, I am fascinated by people’s general apathy towards these historical sites. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This, I believe, is all that is left of a former aqueduct in Selçuk, Turkey. It is one of the many little ancient sites situated in this rather unremarkable little town full of people who don’t seem to care at all that they are living among history. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #izmir #turkey🇹🇷 #izmirliyiz #izmir🇹🇷 #izmir💖 #turkeytourism #turkeytravel #turkeystagram #turkeyinstagram #travelturkey #visitturkey #visitturkey🇹🇷 #turkeyphotooftheday #turkeylovers #turkeytrip #turkeyholiday #lovefromturkey #turkiyedegeziyorum #blackexpat #expat #expatlife #expatwoman #expatexplore #expatblogger #lonelyplanettraveller #lpguide #lonelyplanet #tripmaximizer https://www.instagram.com/p/BrPnj8UFB8K/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1btrn96hxi2zt

One of the other highlights of my trip to Ephesus, was visiting the theater. * * * #izmir #turkey🇹🇷 #izmirliyiz #izmir🇹🇷 #izmir💖 #turkeytourism #turkeytravel #turkeystagram #turkeyinstagram #travelturkey #visitturkey #visitturkey🇹🇷 #turkeyphotooftheday #turkeylovers #turkeytrip #turkeyholiday #lovefromturkey #turkiyedegeziyorum #blackexpat #expat #expatlife #expatwoman #expatexplore #expatblogger #lonelyplanettraveller #lpguide #lonelyplanet #tripmaximizer (at Efes, İzmir) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrCvaH8lSWo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n9qfs6waiq58

So, I was unceremoniously kicked out of my Airbnb in Istanbul and had no choice but to head to Izmir. Initially, I was pissed, but out of all the drama a grand opportunity arose. I was able to visit this ancient ruin. Built by the Greeks in the 10th century BC, Ephesus became a vibrant city after it was taken over by the Romans in 129 BC. This facade is all that remains of the Library of Celsus. But the best part of my journey there was that I arrived about 20 minutes before the park opened. That meant that I got to explore the grounds and wander among the ruins for about 30 minutes before the bus loads of tourists arrived. It is an experience that I will always be grateful for and one that I highly recommend! * * * #izmir #turkey🇹🇷 #izmirliyiz #izmir🇹🇷 #izmir💖 #turkeytourism #turkeytravel #turkeystagram #turkeyinstagram #travelturkey #visitturkey #visitturkey🇹🇷 #turkeyphotooftheday #turkeylovers #turkeytrip #turkeyholiday #lovefromturkey #turkiyedegeziyorum #ephesus #selçuk #libraryofcelsus #lonelyplanettraveller #lpguide #lonelyplanet #tripmaximizer #blackexpat #expat #expatlife #expatexplore #expatblogger (at Ephesus, Izmir, Turkey) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrAAV9HFvkJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gs7ngw5p8al6

Located in Konak Square next to the clock tower, the Yall Mosque is a beautiful little mini-mosque is a great mini-stop during your visit to Izmir. * * * * ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #izmir #turkey🇹🇷 #izmirliyiz #izmir🇹🇷 #izmir💖 #turkeytourism #turkeytravel #turkeystagram #turkeyinstagram #travelturkey #visitturkey #visitturkey🇹🇷 #turkeyphotooftheday #turkeylovers #turkeytrip #turkeyholiday #lovefromturkey #turkiyedegeziyorum #lonelyplanettraveller #lpguide #lonelyplanet #tripmaximizer #sistersandsuitcases #millennialsabroad #parlourmagazine #blacktraveljourney #melaninjourney #madtravel #blacktravelguide #nomadness (at İzmir Konak) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq62VhslQ-y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s8bjnw2yg697

One of the most recognizable landmarks are in Izmir, the Clock Tower or İzmir Saat Kulesi in Turkish has stood at the center of Konak Square since 1901. A gift from German Emperor Wilhelm II to the Ottoman Emperor Abdülhamid, it was given to celebrate Abdülhamid's 25th year on the throne. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As with all things Ottoman, it is ornately decorated with both Ottoman and Moorish themes. Suffice it to say, it is beautiful and should be one your list if ever you come to Izmir. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #izmir #turkey🇹🇷 #izmirliyiz #izmir🇹🇷 #izmir💖 #turkeytourism #turkeytravel #turkeystagram #turkeyinstagram #travelturkey #visitturkey #visitturkey🇹🇷 #turkeyphotooftheday #turkeylovers #turkeytrip #turkeyholiday #lovefromturkey #lonelyplanettraveller #lpguide #lonelyplanet #tripmaximizer #blackexpat #expat #expatlife #expatwoman #expatexplore #expatblogger (at Clock Tower, Izmir, Turkey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq4NDNqFaWl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1500pra14xn4j

Yerebatan Sarnıcı, the Turkish name for The Basilica Cistern, is the largest water storage receptacle for the ancient city of Constantinople. Located directly across the street from the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, it is a must-see during any trip to Istanbul. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #istanbul #istanbulcity #istanbulmome #istanbul_hdr #istanbuldayaşam#istanbullovers #eminonu #ig_istanbul #lovestanbul #cisterns #igers_istanbul #oneistanbul #balikekmek  #tkmoments  #turkishairlines #istanbul #basilicacistern #lonelyplanettraveller #lpguide #lonelyplanet #tripmaximizer #blackexpat #expat #expatlife #expatwoman #expatexplore #expatblogger #blacktravelmovement #blacktravelista (at Basilica Cistern, Istanbul) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq2IAKVFaIJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13wkmbi7n60s0
