The Experience

Two thousand years, one morning.

Ephesus was one of the great cities of the Roman world. Walking downhill from the upper gate, you follow Curetes Street to the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre, which once seated around 25,000 people.

An archaeologist guide adds depth and stories, from daily life in the Terrace Houses to the early Christian history of the city.
