1. To begin, you will get to visit the Temple of Artemis. Although now only a few parts of the temple are left standing, the sight is still attractive to marvel at what was once there. The large marble column bases that are now scattered throughout the over growing swamp land give you an idea of how fantastic this temple once was and why it is listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Dating back to 6th Century B.C., it is one of the oldest relics in the area. The Temple of Artemis used to be part of the large Roman City Ephesus. These marble ruins are some of the best preserved you will see in the world.

"The houses of the rich Romans", the oldest building, dates back to the 1st century BC until the 7the century AD. You will be able to see amazing mosaics and frescoes and the famous water-running and heating system with clay pipes. Anyone who has seen it will tell you that it is one of the highlights of this place as you can picture the lifestyle of the people in that period. In this section, there are over 100 stairs, so we do not recommend it for people with physical disabilities. It takes a minimum of 30 minutes to visit.

About Kusadasi

Kuşadası, station égéenne animée de la côte ouest turque, est proche d'Éphèse, l'une des cités antiques les mieux préservées de la Méditerranée.

La ville s'incurve autour d'une baie avec un port de croisière animé, une marina et l'île aux Pigeons, reliée à la rive par une chaussée et surmontée d'une petite forteresse de pierre. Les rues de la vieille ville grimpent derrière le port avec bazars, cafés et restaurants, et des plages comme Ladies Beach et Long Beach s'étirent le long de la côte.
