EPHESUS PLACES TO SEE
Ephesus is the best-preserved classical city on the Mediterranean, and perhaps the best place in the world
to get the feeling for what life was like in Roman times. As a strategic coastal gateway to the Eastern World, this
Ionian refuge grew to be the second largest city in the Roman Empire, the site of a Christian shrine, and one of the
seven wonders of the ancient world.
