Highlights
- Ephesus was, at its height, the second-largest city in the Roman world after Rome itself. The excavated streets still carry that sense of scale. You walk on marble roads worn smooth by two thousand years of footsteps, pass the facade of the Library of Celsus with its columns intact, and stand in an amphitheatre that once held 25,000 people. The Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, stood a short distance away — though what remains today is a single reconstructed column. Your English-speaking guide covers the layered history throughout a three-hour guided walk.
- Beyond the ancient city, the itinerary includes time in Selcuk, the modern town that grew up around the ruins. Local shops sell the regional hand-crafted goods the area is known for, and the streets around the site have a lived-in character worth a wander. The House of Virgin Mary, a small shrine hidden on the slopes of Bulbul Mountain and considered a pilgrimage site by Christian visitors, can also be included depending on the day's schedule.
- Meals are taken care of. A packed breakfast is provided early in the morning given the very early departure, and an open buffet lunch at a local restaurant breaks up the day before the return journey.
