The guide will greet you from Cesme Port with the board which your name is written on it. Then, drive to Ephesus almost 2 hours.
Terrace Houses
are located on the hill, opposite the Hadrian Temple. Also called “the houses of rich”, they are important for the reason that they give us an idea about family life during the Roman period. They were built according to the Hippodamian plan of the city in which roads transected each other of right angles.
Temple of Artemis or Artemision
also known as the Temple of Diana, was a Greek Temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis. It was located in Ephesus and it was one of the seven wonders of the world.
