Ancient City of Ephesus - A remarkable archaeological site, Ephesus is the best-preserved classical city in the Eastern Mediterranean. In the 1st century AD, it was the world’s second-largest city after Rome, with over 250,000 residents. Ephesus served as a crucial link between East and West and was a major trading hub due to its vast harbor. It was not only a wealthy commercial center but also the romantic retreat of Mark Anthony and Cleopatra. Home to the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Ephesus is so well-preserved that strolling through its ancient streets and admiring monuments like the third-largest library of the ancient world or the largest Roman theatre in Asia feels like stepping back in time.
