Traces of the ancient city

#AprilTravelSupport Rating: 4.2/5 Major Attractions: Amphitheater, Library of Celsus, Temple of Artemis, Baths of Varius, Ancient Road Walking Distance: Walking and Shuttle Accessible from downtown Selcuk Description: Ephesus was a representative colonial city in Asia Minor, founded by the ancient Greek Athenians in the 9th century BC. In ancient times, it flourished as a center of maritime trade routes and served as a center of commerce, religion, and culture. The well-preserved remains of the Great Theater, Library, Temple, and Baths, which are still surprisingly well preserved today, provide a glimpse into the daily lives of the people and the city structure of the time. Walking along the ruins on foot, you can experience traveling through the ancient Roman era. Recommendation: A way to enjoy Ephesus more deeply is to slowly walk around the ruins and connect the roles and locations of each structure. If you are interested in history and architecture, we recommend spending more than half a day here.
