Before we visited Ephesus, we had lunch at a hotel
nearby. This is part of the buffet. This was one of the better
lunches we had on the organized tours. |
These little pastries were delicious. They were soaked
in honey. One was called Borak, and another was Tulumba. We're searching for the recipes. |
