Ephesus Terrace Houses

Wealthy Ephesians inhabited these luxurious houses on the slopes of Bülbül Mountain.

My wife and I were on a conducted tour of Ephesus from our hotel in Kusadasi. Our guide had made it clear to us that our tour included a ticket for seeing this attraction, (it is an extra ticket over and above the entrance fee for getting into the main Ephesus site). But, surprisingly, only about half the group were game enough to enter this "added" attraction. Even my wife chickened out. Why? Because there is a fair bit of climbing stairs. What is this attraction? These are recently excavated (and beautifully restored) residences from 2000 years ago. The residences are along a hillside, and they are adjoining one another. Some are even connected. What grand apartments! What decorations! Beautiful floors! A photo buff's paradise. Unfortunately, we were on a tight schedule, we had much more to see in Ephesus, and as half the group did not join us, our guide rushed us through the exhibit. This is easily the best thing to see in Ephesus. Truly amazing. I strongly recommend it. A guide would greatly help, as it is difficult to understand the layout of the rooms in the various houses (they are properly called "apartments" !!!) . Also, a guide can explain the various decorations on the walls.

Bibliotheque de Celsus

Built by Julius Aquila in 110 A.D. as a memorial for his father, the Celsus Library is one of the finest buildings in Ephesus. The two-story building contained over 12,000 hand-written books, making it one of the largest library collections of its time.

Magnificent library and the highlight of Ephesus. 1. Believe it or not, Celsus Library was the third largest library in the Roman world behind only Alexandria and Pergamum 2. In my own opinion, I think this is the most beautiful building in Selcuk and at night, this is absolutely stunning. The lightnings are great and definitely worth your time visiting. Look from the top and you would find it more magnificent. 3. Make sure to bring your camera to take more pictures of this magnificent building and also many other more structures in Ephesus ruins.

Efes Antik Kenti Tiyatrosu

The largest and most spectacular structure of Ephesus was originally built in the 3rd century BC and was later updated by the Romans in the 1st century AD when it had a seating capacity of 25,000.

Reviewed By hii67 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

This great theatre reputed to be one of the largest in the ancient world is towards the end of the tour to ancient city of Ephesus and it is a must see when in Turkey! Taking a clear shot void of human traffic would be a miracle as the theatre is always packed unless one arrives when the door opens. Do climb to the top of the steps and take in great topography of the area and be sure to take a panoramic shot in your handphone or camera! Truly impressive and another human ingenuity left partially intact by a great civilization !
