Leaving Marmara early enabled a quick trip to Saraylar on the north coast of the island.
A better picture of the ambulance taken whilst leaving.
As you can see the island is very beautiful and green until...
......you see the marble quarries.
We moored alongside to the ferry terminal and nobody grumbled.
They have used marble for the dock.
I went to the open air marble museum which has lots of half carved rejected pieces.
This appears to be stone coffin.
A sarcophagus and an overview of the tomb department.
Overall I spent an hour at the museum and as the whole place was very dusty decided to move on after buying a nice cream.
