Ancient City of Ephesus

Ephesus Ancient City is an archaeological treasure and the best-preserved classical city in the Eastern Mediterranean. In the 1st century AD, it was the second-largest city in the world after Rome, with a population exceeding 250,000. Strategically located at the heart of the ancient world, Ephesus served as a major gateway between East and West, thanks to its vast harbor and thriving trade.More than just a commercial hub, Ephesus was also steeped in romance—it was famously the honeymoon destination of Mark Antony and Cleopatra. The city is home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the magnificent Temple of Artemis.Today, Ephesus remains so well preserved that a walk through its ancient streets feels like stepping back in time. Visitors can marvel at grand monuments like the Library of Celsus, the third-largest library of the ancient world, and the Great Theatre—the largest Roman theatre in Asia Minor. Exploring Ephesus is truly a journey through history.
