← Back to list

One of Turkey’s most visited historical treasures, Ephesus is not limited to a single ancient city but consists of several significant areas, including Çukuriçi Höyük, Ayasuluk Hill, the Ancient City of Ephesus, and the House of the Virgin Mary — all listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Once one of the most powerful and influential cities of the ancient world, Ephesus was also home to renowned philosophers and scholars such as Heraclitus.

Exploring this fascinating site with guided tours, visitors can step back in time while walking among iconic landmarks like the Ephesus Ancient Theatre, which could host up to 24,000 spectators, the Library of Celsus, the Temple of Hadrian, Curetes Street, and the impressive terrace houses. Still hosting international events today, the ancient theatre makes Ephesus an essential stop on any trip to İzmir.
