With the redness of the sunset, it takes man to other worlds. Especially if the sunset is from the sea, you will feel the fire that covers you. It was the most beautiful sunset I could watch in my life!

I visited as part of a private tour arranged by Crowded House Tours with my wonderful guide Sucru. It was the last stop on a day that began in Çanakkale, stopping in Assos and Pergamum on the way to Kusadasi. We were able to drive almost right up to the front entrance of the ruins which lay atop a large hill that overlooks a large plain. The effect is that you are removed from the modern city below, and allowed to immerse yourself in contemplating the ruins and the history they represent. I was able to spend a little over an hour here, which was enough to get a superficial view of the ruins. I was able to see everything on the acropolis in this time. I was constantly moving in order to “see it all.” I did not have time to walk down to the theatre and have a look there. I would recommend that if you are a real fan of ancient history, and want to truly take in the significance of the place and it’s ruins, you allot more time for exploring. Two hours would probably do. But if you are a passing fan of ancient history, an hour is probably enough. Still the views themselves here are probably enough for even the most casual traveler to stop and have a look.

The waterfront is amazing. On the way to Alsancak, make sure to see Konak Pier and the old clocktower. There are so many restaurants, bars, and cafes to choose from in Alsancak. You can walk around for hours around Sair Esref or Kultur neighbourhoods, looking at old books or shopping for anything.

If you're in Cesme, the castle is well worth a quick visit. It breathes history, just like many other monuments in Turkey. Be prepared to climb steps and enjoy the view from the top.

The Trajan fountain is the main and most beautiful edifice along the Curetes main street (not counting the library which is at its end). It's located at the middle of it, just across the wealthy hill side Terrace houses for the rich. The fountain named after the great Roman Emperor supplied water for the city and dates back to 2nd c when the city was at its peak. It's one of the restored sites in Ephesus to be conserved and admired for future generations.
