WHAT YOU VISIT

Depart the pier for the morning drive by private vehicle to Ephesus, one of the most important and well-preserved ancient sites of Asia Minor. Ephesus dates back to the 3rd century BC, and has always played a significant role in science, culture and the arts.

In 1989, Ephesus Museum archaeologists focused on the ruins of Ephesus' earliest settlement. The enclosure for archaeological remains at Ephesus elegantly reconciles historic conservation with accessibility for visitors.


Upon arrival, you will be met by archaeologist, a noted expert who participated in the Ephesus excavations and other important digs throughout Turkey. Together, you will discuss and explore the finds collected from Ephesus and the terrace houses. Next, a visit will be made to the Ephesus Museum's Hall of Artemis to view exhibits of works, statues and architectonic fragments found

during the excavations of the Temple of Artemis and other locations in Ephesus.
Terrace Houses

From here, you will continue on to see the ruins, including the grand amphitheater; one of Ephesus' most impressive buildings. You will then visit the 2nd-century Library of Celsus before exploring the ruins of the Scholastic Baths, Odeon, Lower Agora and State Agora. Your tour will conclude with a visit to the Terrace Houses located on the slopes of Bulbul Mountain, and opposite the Hadrian


Temple. Built for wealthy citizens, the homes' interiors were constructed with the highest standards of their day, and featured mosaics, frescoes and interior courtyards with open ceilings. Following your tour, you will re-board your private vehicle for a lunch break and continue to your final stop to Artemision; known as one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. It has been built in the
