Ephesus
The ruins of Ephesus are among the best preserved ruins in today’s modern world, offering a fantastic insight into the lives of those who once lived in this important ancient city. Accompany your guide through the Odeon, the Temple of Hadrian, the Great Theater with a capacity of up to 25,000 people, and the impressive Celsius Library - one of Ephesus' most photographed buildings.

Temple of Artemis
One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis was built in the Hellenistic Age by the Lycian King, Kreisos, and the ruins of its sculpted marble columns are now scattered throughout swamp land, although a few are housed in London's British Museum.

NOTE!
Do not miss a chance to visit Ephesus' Terrace Houses section which has an extra entrance fee of 15 USD per person. With beautiful mosaics and frescoes, "The houses of the rich Romans", is a must-see, dating back to the 1st century BC and complete with original clay pipe water and heating systems. Please be aware that there are over 100 stairs in this section so we do not recommend it for people with physical disabilities. It takes a minimum of 30 minutes to visit.
