Ephesus Terrace Houses (Pass By)

Terrace Houses are also known as “the houses of rich” are located in the ancient city of Ephesus, opposite the temple of Hadrian. It has a remarkable place for us since it gives us very significant pieces of information about roman family life. In Terrace Houses, you will see all parts of the house which is covered by beautiful mosaics and frescos that show us how rich they are, and the heating system is the same as roman baths.

Nomadic Carpet & Kilims

Any traveler visiting Turkey is bound to head home with one or more souvenirs as memories of their time spent in the country. Apart from Turkish delight and the well-known Nazar Boncuk (Evil Eye), another popular choice is a Turkish rug or carpet that is more than a souvenir because they reflect the country's rich cultural heritage.
