Founded by Greek colonists in the 10th century BC, Ephesus passed under Greek, Persian, Roman, Byzantine and, ultimately Ottoman rule over its 11,000 year history. At its height, Ephesus was a bustling port, one of the largest cities in Asia Minor, and home to some of the finest monuments of the ancient world. Most notably, the Temple of Artemis - one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Inhabited until the 15th century, today this UNESCO World Heritage Site presents an unparalleled snapshot of Hellenistic, Roman Imperial and early Christian cultures despite 80% of the city remaining unexcavated. Walking the ancient Roman roads, you’ll find terraced houses with mosaic floors, intricately decorated gates, a bounty of bathhouses, and several temples, including the foundations of the Temple of Artemis. The famed two-story library with its columns and sculptures, and 25,000-seat theatre put the city’s size and status into perspective.
- AphrodisiasFeel free to explore at your own pace and discoverStop: 2 hours - admission not included
Aphrodisias began as a Temple to Aphrodite in the 3rd century BC, with a city growing around it 100 years later. Made wealthy from its marble and the sculptors who worked it, the city survived until 1402 when it was sacked and abandoned. The well-preserved ruins have attracted visitors since the 18th century, and 1961 has been excavated under the direction of NYU - Professor Kenan Erim is even buried here. Today the ruins are still being excavated, but there is plenty to see. The centerpiece is of course, the Temple of Aphrodite and the elaborate Tetrapylon, or monumental gate. You’ll also find the remains of a Byzantine bishop's palace, and other civic buildings. Aphrodisias also has a beautiful marble odeon, and what’s believed to be the world’s largest ancient stadium, and one of the best preserved.
