Ancient City of Ephesus - After meeting, we will drive for 20 minutes to the Ephesus area. We will begin our tour of Ephesus, one of Turkey’s main attractions and one of the 12 cities of the Ionian League, located near Izmir. As a port city, it was a key departure point for trade routes into Asia Minor. Walk through history along marble streets lined with remarkable public buildings, including the Baths of Scholastica and the Library of Celsus, built in the early 2nd century A.D. by Gaius Julius Aquila in memory of his father, Gaius Julius Celsus Polemanus, the proconsul of the Province of Asia. The Temple of Hadrian and The Grand Theater, built in the 3rd century B.C. and later expanded by the Romans to accommodate 24,000 spectators in the 1st century A.D., are two of the most impressive structures in Ephesus.
