In the 1st century AD, it was the second-largest city globally, after Rome, with over 250,000 residents. Positioned at the heart of the known world, it served as a bridge between East and West with its vast harbor and was a hub of ancient trade. Not only a prosperous commercial city, it was also the honeymoon destination for Mark Antony and Cleopatra. This remarkable city is home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis. Ephesus is so well-preserved that strolling through its ancient streets, among stunning monuments like the third-largest library of the ancient world or the largest Roman theater on the Asian continent, feels like traveling back in time.
