Ancient City of Ephesus

Ephesus is 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, boasting a population of over 250,000. Strategically located at the heart of the known world, it served as a vital gateway between East and West.With its expansive harbor, Ephesus was a major center of trade in antiquity. But it wasn’t just a thriving commercial hub—it was also the romantic retreat of Mark Antony and Cleopatra. The city is home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the Temple of Artemis.So well-preserved is Ephesus that walking along its ancient marble streets, past grand monuments like the Library of Celsus—the third largest of the ancient world—and the largest Roman theater in Asia Minor, truly feels like stepping back in time.
