Ephesus. Stunningly. I really liked it. I was lucky to have a guide. The territory is large, so when the temperature is over 40C, it's hard. Keep in mind.
A perfectly preserved ancient city, with a mosaic on the street, the Celsus library, a large theater, baths and a stadium, and parts of the construction of the first Byzantine basilica in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary have been preserved there

A great trip to Turkey 2019, a forthcoming review of the city of Selcuk, more precisely the Aqueduct point.
Selchuk, they specially chose a town near Kusadasi for an overnight stay, and accidentally found out that there is an ancient city of Ephesus in this small rural town. And already on the way to Pammukale, we stopped in Ephesus.
Local comrades immediately ran up to us with teams of horses, telling us that we would have to crawl uphill to see all the beauty. And so they take us by team to the upper entrance and we go down light - admire the ruins and do not know the sadness, of course not for free, if I'm not mistaken, we asked for 60 rubles. And also the entrance fee per person is 60 rubles.
Ephesus is an old ancient city, from which many structures have been well preserved to this day. This is a popular tourist attraction in Turkey, which is enough to allocate one day. It was enough for us, even two hours, because on this day we had planned, finally, a Pamphlet.
If you are in those parts, be sure to visit the ancient famous city. But the prices have gone up to the skies (they say they have raised 4 times this year)
The incredible ancient city of Artemis. A very impressive place, amazing architecture. I highly recommend you to visit! The architectural monuments are perfectly preserved, the territory is huge. It is better to set aside a whole day for visiting. It is always very crowded and there are a lot of tourists. The best time to visit is spring, it is not very hot yet, as the whole area is under the open sky.
A place, after visiting which I once again realized the full level of my ignorance). I found out that I had seen the very temple that Herostratus had burned down upon my return from Ephesus. The Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, is located on the road from the Ephesus Museum. Even if there is only one column left of it. When you are in Ephesus, so that you don't regret it later, be sure to take a look. It is the temple that is the main attraction there.
If you are vacationing in Kusadasi, it is probably better to go on your own by minibus for 20 minutes and 6 liras for the fare You need to sit at the intersection of Adnan Menderes and Candan Tarhan streets, you can also take the dolmush to Milli Park only on the other side of the road
The entrance ticket is 60 liras
Two hours is enough to spare. The library itself was probably made 10 years ago to attract tourists, but it still does not prevent you from taking great photos
To get back to dolmusha, just raise your hand on the highway They stop
The main thing is to arrive in Ephesus as early as possible in the morning and walk through the streets of this ancient city, which are still empty of tourists. Then you can feel the breath of history. Go into some ancient shop or an ordinary house and try to imagine how the life of the most ordinary people once flowed here. We did it. And this is an unforgettable experience, for which it is worth traveling. But the main rule is no one around, no tourists!!! Allow yourself to be selfish in this case...
Amazing mild climate, unimaginably beautiful ancient architecture.The ancient culture penetrates you.There is definitely something to see!!! I was crying...This is heaven on earth!
The Ever-Virgin Mary lived here with her later betrothed son, the Apostle John the Theologian, who preached Christ Jesus to the Romans here. If you are going to Bodrum or thereabouts, be sure to visit. Here, nearby, by taxi for 10 minutes, in the temple near the ruins of the temple of Artemis, the grave of John the Theologian himself.
