Description

Journey back in time during this exclusive, limited-participation tour of the ruins of Ephesus, a UNESCO World Heritage site. After a leisurely drive, you’ll arrive in 3rd-century BC Ephesus, one of the largest Roman archaeological sites in the eastern Mediterranean and once the location of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Meet your guide, an expert archaeologist, who will lead you in a discussion about the site. You’ll visit the Ephesus Museum’s Hall of Artemis and view artifacts and statues unearthed during the excavations of the temple and other key locations around Ephesus. Discover countless remains of this once-thriving city, such as the beautifully restored two-story, 2nd-century Library of Celsus and the Odeon Theater. Behold the 24,000-seat Great Theater and see the Terrace Houses where Ephesus’ wealthiest citizens lived. Savor a delicious repast at a specially selected restaurant in Selçuk, adjacent to the ruins. You’ll have the option to shop on your own in Kusadasi or enjoy a demonstration of the craftsmanship of carpetmaking, if you desire.
