Explore Ephesus, one of the world’s best-preserved Greco-Roman cities, with roots in the Greek and Roman eras. Walk streets still bearing chariot wheel marks and marvel at the Great Theater, a 20,000-seat venue once hosting gladiatorial battles. Visit the Public Agora, where St. Paul preached and Anatolian handicrafts thrived, renowned for their quality even today. Stroll along Marble Street to the stunning Celsus Library, the ancient world's third-largest, with its beautifully restored façade. Discover other iconic sites, including the Temple of Hadrian, the Trajan Fountain, the Domitian Temple, and the Odeon, a music venue. Ephesus captures the grandeur, engineering, and cultural richness of ancient civilizations, offering an unforgettable experience for history lovers.

The Terrace Houses of Ephesus, also called the "Houses of the Rich," a Window into Roman Luxury, reveal the opulent lifestyles of the city's elite during the Roman era. These remarkably well-preserved residences boast intricate mosaics, vibrant frescoes, and advanced architectural features, including one of the earliest examples of central heating systems. This site highlights the sophistication, innovation, and artistic achievements of ancient Ephesus, making it a must-visit for history and archaeology enthusiasts.

The Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was dedicated to Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt and moon. Constructed around 650 BC on a site sacred to Cybele, the Anatolian Mother Goddess, it was financed by the King of Lydia and ingeniously built on marshy ground to resist earthquakes. This historic site also witnessed dramatic events, such as the murder of Cleopatra’s sister, Arsinoe IV, under Mark Antony’s orders in 41 BC. Today, only columns and ruins remain, but the temple’s enduring legacy rivals the magnificence of the Parthenon, attracting history enthusiasts to explore its remarkable past.
