It served as both the capital and the commercial center of Asia Minor. On the tour, you'll have the opportunity to see several remarkable sites, including the Library of Celsus, which is the third-largest library of the ancient world, and the Great Theater of Ephesus, the largest theater in Anatolia.

The Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was originally built in the 6th century BC and reached its final form in the 2nd century AD. It was the largest and most popular center of pagan worship in the region. Today, although we can only see the basic structure, a single column, and a few ruins, the site can still be visited to experience its current atmosphere.
