Apasas name is derived from Ephesus over time until today. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1668775004581\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What country is Ephesus in?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><br\/>Today, Ephesus is located in the Aegean Region (West of Turkey) of Turkey.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1668775310771\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How to say Ephesus?<br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Ephesus is pronounced as &#8220;<strong>eh\u00b7fuh\u00b7suhs<\/strong>&#8220;. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1676139524643\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is Ephesus called today?<br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The modern name of Ephesus is Selcuk.
