can’t Ephesus enough how amazing this is

#celebratewithtrip Ephesus is an ancient city in Turkey’s Central Aegean region, near modern-day Selçuk. There is so much to talk about within this site. First and foremost is that the entire city is covered in marble, and this includes the streets and sidewalks. A wonderful site. The walk down to the library is spectacular with so much to see. A fantastic place to tour how they managed to build all the buildings without modern equipment never ceases to amaze me. The ruins are in such terrific shape, it doesn't seem as old as they really are. The Library is a must see and the amphitheater is so large, it's amazing to think how they built it. We went go to the upper gate of the Ephesus and then walk all the way down to the lower gate. When you we came out of the lower gate we can also walk back to Selcuk. It is a pleasant walk of about 2-3 kms. This is one of my all time traveling highlights. The Ancient City of Ephesus is absolutely fascinating and despite the ruins it is still possible to get a very real feel for what life was like. I felt as if I were transported back in time. Truly worth a visit. I loved it ! Tips 1. Need good walking shoes with good grip as the marble gets slick in some areas, especially coming down steps. 2. Wear sun block, bring enough water and hat or sunglasses to enjoy this large ancient city. 3. For those on a budget avoid the market at the entry , its overpriced. The souvenir shop at the site is pretty good . #celebratewithtrip #ancient_city #ancientcity #turkey #mytripvlog #vacation

Since the Roman period, it has been hailed as 'the first and greatest metropolis of Asia', which reflects the prosperity of Ephesus at that time. Walking through it, one can feel the flourishing golden age of the Roman era, with the relatively well-preserved library bearing witness to the rise and fall of a thousand years of history. Amidst the ruins, wild cats and dogs roam freely, as if this place has always been their home. The immersive viewing experience at the end is stunning and not to be missed.

Exploring the Ruins of Ephesus

Ephesus, an ancient city located in modern-day Turkey, was once a bustling metropolis and a major center of trade and commerce in the classical Mediterranean world. Today, it stands as one of the most well-preserved archaeological sites in Europe, offering a vivid portal into the Roman Empire's past. What to Expect Visitors to Ephesus can explore an array of remarkable ruins, including the Library of Celsus, a two-story structure that was once one of the largest libraries of the ancient world, and the Grand Theatre, which could hold 25,000 spectators and still hosts concerts today. The site also includes the Temple of Hadrian, the Odeon, and the sprawling Terrace Houses, which offer a glimpse into the domestic lives of Ephesians with their preserved mosaics and frescoes. Experiences and Recommendations A guided tour can enhance your visit by providing context to the ruins you're seeing, explaining the city's history and the daily lives of its ancient inhabitants. Walking the Marble Road that leads through the city center, you'll feel connected to the thousands who walked there before you over millennia. For those interested in religious history, the House of the Virgin Mary, a pilgrimage site near Ephesus believed to be where Mary spent her last days, is a short drive away. Tips and Tricks The best times to visit Ephesus are spring and fall, when the weather is mild and the crowds are smaller. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes as the site is expansive and the ground uneven. Bringing water and sun protection is crucial, as shade is limited. Early morning or late afternoon visits can offer softer light for photos and a cooler experience. Personal Reflections Walking through the streets of Ephesus, I was struck by the intricate detail of the carvings on the buildings and the sheer scale of the city. It's a place that truly transports you back in time, making you feel like a spectator of history. Standing in the Grand Theatre, imagining the performances and speeches that took place there, was a highlight of my visit.

Ephesus - A Witness to Prosperity in Turkey

Ephesus (also known as Ephesos) was established by Athenian colonists in the 10th century BC. This place name, which appears in the New Testament, is one of the most intact ancient cities in the world and is currently the largest Greek-Roman ancient city. It was once one of the five major cities of the Roman Empire and had a period of great prosperity during the ancient Greek and Roman times. Human activity traces date back to before 5000 BC in this area, but it was not until the Greeks took the stage of history that prosperity came. According to archaeological findings, Athenian colonists began building the city of Ephesus in the 10th century BC, and by 334 BC, Alexander the Great had incorporated Ephesus into the territory of the Greek Empire. Located near the mouth of the Cayster River on the Aegean coast, less than a kilometer from the estuary, Ephesus quickly developed into one of the most prosperous economic and cultural cities in the Mediterranean region, thanks to convenient maritime trade. For a long time in history, it was the second-largest city of the ancient Roman Empire, second only to Rome. Ephesus is often referred to by Westerners as the 'Pompeii of Turkey'. The main street of ancient Ephesus leading to the port, at its peak, had water and sewage pipes installed under the marble slabs, with 50 street lamps hanging on the colonnades for illumination, which should be the world's oldest street lights. There were many shops on both sides, and the wheel marks pressed by carriages can still be seen on the ground today. It was famous for the Temple of Artemis (the primary shrine of the goddess Diana), the library, and the agora, but after hundreds of years of topographical changes, its estuary was gradually silted up, and the maritime trade that Ephesus relied on came to an end. Coupled with frequent earthquakes along the Mediterranean coast, Ephesus could not escape the misfortune of being abandoned, and this city mentioned in the New Testament eventually became a pile of marble ruins. In 2015, Ephesus was approved by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee as a cultural heritage and included in the 'World Heritage List'. Ephesus is a witness to the highly developed civilization of the Hellenistic, Roman Empire, and early Christian periods, as reflected in the monuments in the city center and Ayasuluk. This ancient city was a Roman seaport city, with navigable waterways and port basins along the Kaystros River. The early and later ports show the changes in the river landscape from the classical Greek period to the medieval period. It began with the worship of Cybele/Meter and continued until the revival of modern Christianity, which is visible and traceable in Ephesus, playing a decisive role in the spread of the Christian faith throughout the Roman Empire. When you come to Turkey and want to understand Turkish history, Ephesus is definitely a place you must visit.

Ephesus Archaeological Site

It was built by Attic and Ionian Greek colonists in 10 BC and is a very important world heritage site of UNESCO. The city is famous for the nearby Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Ephesus is also an important place for Christians. Ephesus is one of the seven churches in Asia Minor. The most unforgettable thing in the ruins is the Celsus Library. The Celsus Library is considered an architectural wonder and is one of the only great libraries left in the ancient world of the Roman Empire. It is the third largest library in the Greco-Roman world, second only to Alexandria and Pergamon libraries,

Turkey | The ancient city of Ephesus Ephesus is one of the most important cities of the early days. Ephesus was an ancient Greek city of Ionian, founded by the Athens colonists in the 10th century BC. The city is located in Ionia, where the mouth of the Kist estuary flows to the Aegean Sea and is part of the Panionian League. Walk on the marble pavement of the ancient city, I was feeling that people were walking here. The theater in the ancient city can accommodate so many people. What kind of performance was carried out that year, human civilization is too great, we are too small Help, what we can do is to protect the world from the world and protect our common cultural heritage. PS: The ancient city in the hot summer days, without a shade of trees, white reflective ground and buildings, walking in the ancient city is more like walking on a "hell road", you must do a good job of sun protection measures !

Historically, the ancient Roman Empire left many great buildings and art, but did you know? The oldest and most preserved Roman city that has survived to this day is not in Rome, Italy, but in the ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey. Ephesus is on the east coast of the Aegean Sea on the Mediterranean Sea. It faces the ancient Greek capital Athens across the sea. Therefore, with the convenience of maritime trade, it became the capital of Asia Minor during the Roman Empire. The city was built in a huge scale, with temples, city halls and large houses. Markets, open air theatres, gymnasiums, bathrooms, and even public toilets are all available, and the world's oldest large library is also here, and it has been beautiful for over 3,000 years.

In the eighth century BC, the city-state alliance established by immigrants from Greece was called Ionia. Ephesus is one of the twelve major cities of Ionia. The completeness of the preservation of the ancient city of Ephesus has greatly increased its observability, and it has also listed Ephesus as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Public Toilet This place is very inconspicuous. I found it several times before I finally saw it in the path on the right side of the temple. These rows of ancient Roman excavated toilets are kept very well. However, this public toilet does not have a compartment and is said to have been a social place for ancient Romans. Library of Celsus Library One of the most famous buildings in Ephesus, it has almost become a landmark here. The statue of the four goddesses can be seen on the first floor of the main gate, representing intelligence, destiny, learning, and virtue. There is a three-arched door on the right, called the gate of Mazeus & Mithridates. This was the two slaves who were forgiven by the Roman emperor and built to feel his kindness.

Ephesus is often referred to by Westerners as "the Pompeii of Turkey", but it is unfair to describe Ephesus in Pompeii in Turkey. Ephesus is the best-preserved classical city on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean and an important center of early Christianity. In many aspects such as city size, history, economy, and religious influence, Pompeii is extremely difficult. However, Pompeii's instant destruction fixed the city and life form at that time, and the subsequent excavation protection was very complete and thus more widely known. The remains of the ancient city of Ephesus have so far preserved two main streets, one is the avenue leading to the port that year, and the other is a fully marbled street connected to it. On both sides of the road, like the modern city, there are institutions such as the city hall, the court, the philosophy school, and other public buildings such as libraries, theaters, shrines, churches, celebrity houses and commercial markets, bathrooms and even public toilets. . Many stone carvings in the ancient city of Ephesus have ancient legends, and many of the famous brand logos are here. The pattern on the stone pillar in the picture is the prototype of the Herms logo. The central location of this big city is a two-story marble building, one of the oldest libraries, whose grandeur and magnificence are deeply shocking. The Selcuk Library, built in 135 AD, was built by his son to commemorate him after the death of Ephesuss Roman governor, Chel.

When I arrived at the ancient city of Ephesus, the heavens were not beautiful, and it was pouring rain. Although the conditions of the visit were bad, our enthusiasm was not weakened. Ephesus is an ancient city that Zhiling's sister likes very much. It can be seen in "Sister of Flowers". She likes it very much and knows the history of Ephesus. It is also because of Lin Zhiling that I am full of curiosity about Ephesus. Ephesus Ancient Anatolia was an Ionian Greek city founded by the Athens colonists in the 10th century BC. The city is located in Ionia, where the mouth of the Kist estuary flows to the Aegean Sea and is part of the Panionian League. After visiting the ancient city of Ephesus, I am very impressed by some of the facilities, which perfectly reflects the wisdom of the ancient people. Many of today's facilities can find the original version in the ancient city. As early as the Neolithic Age of 6,000 BC, Ephesus had traces of human habitation. Ephesus built the city in the 10th century BC, and the early days were ancient Greek cities. For a long time in Roman times, it was the second largest city in the Roman Empire after Rome. In the first century AD, the population here reached 250,000. At this time, Pompeii was annihilated in the ashes of Mount Vesuvius. The city has experienced ups and downs and eventually declined in the 15th century, and it will never return to its former glory. Fortunately, the remains left are enough for us to see the old glory.

It is quite difficult to see where the Buddha is now. It is used as a place to live, leaving behind some public facilities. Outside the theater, on the marble road leading to the library, there is a stone with a straight white pattern, a heart pierced by an arrow, a woman, indicating that the red light area is ahead. There is a place where there is a drama, so the ancient Greeks invented a semi-circular amphitheatre. The theater generally consists of three parts: the music pool, the view house and the auditorium. Located in the center of the theater, Lechi is a place where actors perform and sing songs, and is also a place for religious ceremonies. Because the origin of ancient Greek drama is inseparable from Dionysus, the ancient Greeks also set up an altar in the middle of the pool to pay homage to Dionysus. The earliest drama in Athens originated from the religious activities of the Dionysus, the earliest ancient Greek tragedy, which is the unfortunate carol of the Dionysus in the Dionysian Festival, and the comedy originated from the carnival in the Dionysian Festival. Song and dance and burlesque performances.

## The reservation is very good, the most distinctive of which is the Celsus Library, which is a must for every visitor to Turkey. Ephesus is in Kusadasi, and it takes 2 hours to drive from Canakkale, which used to be an important city of the Roman Empire. Entering the scenic spot, you can feel free to follow a wave of tour groups. The tour guide will talk more about it. There are many wild cats in the ancient city, which feels quite aura. In addition to the library, there is also an amphitheatre that is more popular, but it takes a few steps to climb, and it will be a while, and the view is spectacular. There are also large markets, large and small temples and temples, magnificent, very recommended. #Where to go to New Years Day
