Very nice trip to Ephesus and almost no people around. Parking at the entrance of Ephesus and taking the taxi (30tl) to the upper entrance is a good option. Then you need approximately 1hours down hill while taking lots of great pictures. Souvenirs, fresh orange juice and good meal is available at the entrance

Intense in all aspects! Take your time and watch out for not tripping on the uneven pavement. Enjoy it to the MAX!
Loved it. Amazing place!! But if only they could restore it a bit more, because stones are literally every where. And now because of covid price went up, 100 lira.
Ephesus Archaeological Museum is one the seven wonders of the world. One of the early civilization structure or township that contain library, theatre, public bathroom and etc. The local guide told us that virgin mary spent her last day in Ephesus. The statue are mostly made from marble, such a great work by the sculpture. I dont know why but there are a lot of cats in that place. During summer remember to apply sun screen and get umbrella or raincoat to avoid the harsh weather on open area museum.
I love it. This place has a good ancient vibes. I think it is nice if u came with thematic outfit to get a better pictures.
Highly recommended. A must-see attraction if you already visited Ephesus to complete the image in your mind. A very compact Museum woth azing finds from the excavations around Ephesus. Not like other big and overwhelming city museums that you get lost.
Ephesus is one of the greatest ruined cities in the Western world. A Greek city was first built here in about 1000 BC and it soon rose to fame as a centre for the worship of Cybele, the Anatolian Mother Goddess. The city we see today was founded in the 4th century BC by Alexander the Great’s successor, Lysimachus. But it was under the Romans that Ephesus became the chief port on the Aegean. Most of the surviving structures date from this period. As the harbour silted up the city declined, but played an important role in the spread of Christianity. Two great Councils of the early Church were held here in AD 431 and 449. It is said that the Virgin Mary spent her last days nearby and that St John the Evangelist came from the island of Patmos to look after her The two best finds exhibited in the museum are the marble statues of Artemis. One is from the first century AD and the other from second century AD. Rows of egg-shaped marble pieces on the goddess's chest have been interpreted differently as breasts, eggs, grapes or dates. In 1978 a new interpretation suggested that these pieces on the goddess's chest were bulls' testicles offered to her on feast days as symbols of fertility. Later excavations proved that the bull cult was really important. Similarly, to Mother Goddess of Anatolia, she has two feline animals standing next to her.
This place is breathtaking. Get here first thing in the morning it gets packed fast.
