Ciconia ciconia

Mixed Interests

Now here's a nice mix of interests: White Storks (Ciconia ciconia) nesting on a Late Roman column in Ephesus.

Pilgrims come here to pray, study history, and probe New Testament connections.

Storks come here for the wetlands and balmy summers (so do some tourists). They arrive in mid-March and depart for Africa in August.

We aim to visit Ephesus next year in mid-March, late June, and late October. Join us for any one of these excursions as we explore the mysterious past and the amazing present of Türkiye.
