• Ancient City of Ephesus - This archaeological site at Ephesus beautifully balances the preservation of history with visitor accessibility. Located on the southwest coast of modern Turkey, Ephesus was a hub for several great ancient civilizations, showcasing a unique blend of architecture and culture. In 356 BC, the Greeks constructed the Artemesium, a grand Ionic temple dedicated to Artemis, the goddess of fertility, which was one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. By the 2nd century BC, Ephesus had become the fourth largest city in the eastern Roman Empire, renowned for its Artemision, the Library of Celsus, and its medical school.
• The Temple of Artemis - Recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, the Temple of Artemis was built in Ephesus on a flat area that eventually became a swamp. Today, visitors to Ephesus can view the ruins of this magnificent Hellenistic Age structure, which was entirely made of marble and adorned with sculptured column capitals and shafts. The most exquisite remnants of this temple are now displayed in the British Museum in London.

The oldest remains date back to the 6th century BC. The temple was originally surrounded by 36 massive columns and was later expanded by order of King Croesus of Lydia during the 6th century BC. Many of the exhibits in the British Museum belong to this period.

• Ephesus Museum - This delightful and well-organized museum houses not only discoveries from the ongoing excavations at the Ephesus archaeological site but also artifacts from the Cukurici Mound, the Basilica of St. John, and the Temple of Artemis. One section features an extensive collection of coins from the era when money was first introduced in history.
