Why Visit Ephesus?
Ephesus is one of the best-preserved classical cities in the Mediterranean and was once the second-largest city of the Roman Empire. With roots dating back to the 10th century BC, the city boasts an extraordinary blend of Greek, Roman, and early Christian heritage. Walking through the ancient marble streets of Ephesus is like stepping back in time, with every column and ruin telling a story of a once-thriving civilization.

Some of the most iconic highlights of Ephesus include:

• The Library of Celsus – A breathtaking 2nd-century structure that once held over 12,000 scrolls.
• The Great Theatre – A massive amphitheater that could hold up to 25,000 spectators, still in use today for performances and events.
• The Temple of Artemis – One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (though only ruins remain, its legacy lives on).
• The House of the Virgin Mary – Believed by many to be the last residence of Mary, mother of Jesus, and a site of pilgrimage for both Christians and Muslims.
• The Terrace Houses – Luxurious Roman homes with stunning mosaics and frescoes, offering a rare glimpse into daily life in ancient times.
