- Ancient City of Ephesus - Ancient Ephesus is an archaeological gem, the best-preserved classical city in the Eastern Mediterranean. In the 1st century AD, Ephesus was the world’s second-largest city after Rome, with over 250,000 residents. It was a central hub of the known world, serving as a bridge between East and West. With its vast harbor, it was a major trading center in antiquity. Not only was it a wealthy commercial city, but it was also the honeymoon destination of Mark Antony and Cleopatra. It is home to 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, such as the third-largest library of the ancient world or the largest Roman theater on the Asian continent, feels like traveling back in time.
