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. Positioned at the heart of the known world, it served as a bridge between East and West with its vast harbor and was a hub of ancient trade. Not only a prosperous commercial city, but it was also the honeymoon destination of Mark Anthony and Cleopatra. This remarkable city is home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis. Ephesus is so well-preserved that strolling through its ancient streets among stunning monuments, such as the third-largest library of the ancient world or the largest Roman theatre on the Asian continent, feels like traveling back in time.

The Temple of Artemis - One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, this temple’s ancient cult dedicated to Artemis was renowned in antiquity, making Ephesus a popular pilgrimage site.
