Ancient City of Ephesus
#fallingseason
About 30 minutes from the port of Kusadasi is the ancient city of Ephesus. Ancient Ephesus has almost 300,000 residents and was an incredibly important city in the ancient Roman Empire. Words cannot describe how amazing this site is - only 10% is excavated, and we could see excavation vehicles still working while we were there. Historically important figures like Marc Antony, Cleopatra, and Apostle Paul once walked these streets!

get lost in the lost city of Ephesus
this is an incredible ancient treasure located just outside the seaside town of Izmir turkey. well before the collapse of the ottoman empire this city was a port town city inhabited by the ancient Romans. Walk down the original streets thousands of years old as though you were walking in the streets of ancient Rome. You’ll be amazed by all the small theaters and large coliseums ocean pillars will tower above you with Roman design and spectacular Roman architecture. This trip is an entire day trip as leave yourself plenty of time to walk that almost 40 km of pathways, Corredor‘s and ancient paths. if you’re lucky enough to stay for the sunset I highly recommend you do. Transportation is easy as there is a train that arrives in the town straight from Izmir.  everything that you need to see is clearly marked in English if you’re traveling from the United States. Patron the local souvenir shops at the beginning of this magnificent journey. #izmir #turkeytravel #turkey #ephesus #optoutside

Ephesus Ancient City
Remains of the second biggest city of the Roman Empire
Enchanting Istanbul, where Eastern and Western cultures meet
The grandeur of Turkey's landscape is mainly due to the following reasons:
1. Geographic location: Turkey is located in the transition zone of the Eurasian continent and has a wide variety of geographical features. From Ardahan to Pamphylia, from Cappadocia to the Aegean Sea, Turkey integrates various landscape types such as mountains, plains, rivers, and oceans, forming a magnificent natural scenery.
2. Majestic mountains: Turkey has majestic mountains such as the Ardahan Mountains and the Kaz Mountains, including the highest peak Mount Ararat. The steep peaks and crisscrossing canyons bring a strong sense of shock.
3. Historical heritage: As one of the birthplaces of ancient civilization, Turkey retains many historical and cultural relics. Such as the ancient city sites of Ephesus, Troy, Bursa, these ancient buildings and relics shine with the natural scenery of the land, making the overall landscape more majestic and spectacular.
4. Oceans and rivers: Turkey is surrounded by the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Black Seas, with a vast coastline. In addition, the huge Euphrates and Kura rivers cross large areas of land, forming spectacular canyons and waterfalls, adding to the grandeur of Turkey's scenery.
In summary, the grandeur of Turkey's scenery is due to its diverse geographical features, majestic mountains, rich historical culture, and spectacular oceans and rivers, making it an unforgettable destination.
Prepare to be amazed! This is one of the most beautiful places to relive the past.
Ephesus Ancient City
If you want to see ancient history & ruins in Turkey this is one spot you simply must not skip! As a formerly busy Mediterranean port city made of marble and beautiful architecture it has been well excavated and is a great pleasure to explore. Make sure you have a guide to explain things as there aren't that many signs with details asides from the great library
There is a public shuttle bus that leaves Selcuk Ottogar every 20-30min that costs 12TL (one way) to come here
Come early in the morning at 9am to avoid the crowds and have the place for yourself (see the difference on the pictures between 9.30am and 11.30am at the Celcius library, in November)

The Library of Celsus in Epheso 📚
The Library of Celsus is one of the most important landmarks and tourist attractions of Ephesus. This place is an impressive archeological gem, its facade is a beautiful and its reconstruction from ruin was a total success.
There is so much history involved in this place so you might need a tour guide to know all details or talk to local people. This is the kind of places you must feel proud to visit and enjoy in person as it’s part of the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The Library of Celsus, with its rather crowded columns and prominent cornices, was re-erected in the 1970s by Austrian archaeologists. The library itself was originally three stories high and entirely faced with coloured marble.
