• Ancient City of Ephesus - An archaeological gem, 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 the East and West and was a major trading hub due to its vast harbor. Not only was it a wealthy commercial city, but it was also a magnificent city where Mark Antony and Cleopatra spent their honeymoon. It houses one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis. Ephesus is so well-preserved that walking 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.
