Visit ancient Ephesus, believed to be one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and explore the spectacular, newly excavated Terrace Houses. Meet by our guide at Izmir port with your name sign on board. Travel for approximately 55 minutes through the agricultural fields of cotton, fruit trees, olives, and figs to Ephesus. Experience the city who’s roots date back as far as 6000 BC, to the Neolithic Age.
Learn about the many civilizations that have ruled this city, developing it into a focal point of trade, culture and power. Venture past the Hadrian Temple, an impressive Corinthian style temple which is the first structure to be made totally of marble.
Walk down the Arcadian Way, a beautiful marble street, and on to the breathtaking Celsus Library, one of the best-preserved libraries in the world. View the Baths of Scholastikia and the private Terrace Houses area, located on top of a hill within the city.
See the Terrace Houses which were brought to light in excavations carried out since the 1980’s. See them up close as you walk along the glass and steel walkways specifically constructed to see the houses that were inhabited by wealthy Ephesians. Enter the Great Theatre, dating back to the Hellenistic period before leaving Ephesus. Be amazed at the theatre, able to seat approximately 24,000 spectators. See the spot that is believed to have been where St. Paul preached Christianity.
Note: This excursion involves walking over relatively uneven surfaces and cobblestones and can be slippery when wet. Photos can be taken without a flash inside the Terrace Houses, which has many steps to climb. There is no A/C within this area due to the preservation of the houses. Comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, water and a hat are recommended. The tour duration - 4.5 hours.
