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.
