Ephesus, Turkey

Why Walk Ephesus

Ephesus was a major Roman metropolis of 250,000 people, and its ruins are among the most complete anywhere. The Library of Celsus facade, the Great Theater seating 25,000, and marble-paved streets lined with columns bring the ancient world to life. The nearby site of the Temple of Artemis — one of the Seven Wonders — and the House of the Virgin Mary add layers of significance. Without narration, visitors miss the intricate stories carved into every surface.
