It was a central hub between the East and West, with a massive harbor making it a trading center in antiquity. Not only a wealthy commercial city, but it was also the honeymoon destination for Mark Anthony and Cleopatra. It houses one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Temple of Artemis. Ephesus is so well-preserved that walking its ancient streets among stunning monuments, like the third-largest library of the ancient world or the largest Roman theatre on the Asian continent, feels like time travel.
