Where Should I go: Ephesus or Corralejo?
Ephesus
The ancient city of Ephesus was famed for the Temple of Artemis (completed around 550 BC). It is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The temple was destroyed in 401 AD and rebuilt by Emperor Constantine I along with new public baths. The town was again partially destroyed by an earthquake in 614 AD. The city's importance as a commercial center declined as the harbor was slowly silted up by the Cayster River (Kucuk Menderes).
Corralejo
Corralejo is a beach town located on the northern tip of the Canary Island of Fuerteventura. While the town is known for its vacation resorts and beaches, the island as a whole is famed for its very strong winds, which create prime conditions for surfing of all kinds.
