Accepted Answer

A visit to Efes (Ephesus) - once the commercial centre of the ancient world - is a highlight of any visit to Turkey The city, whose wealth and patronage supported its splendid architectural program, was dedicated to the goddess Artemis. Her enormous temple, once considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and rebuilt several times, dates in its latest form from the third century B.C. The ruins also include a theatre, gymnasium, agora and baths, as well as the Library of Celsus. - This tour offers a complete perspective about the Ancient City of Ephesus and the Roman way of living. In Ephesus, you will see the: -  • Magnesia Gate,  -  • Curetes Street, -  • Odeon,  -  • Trajan Fountain,  -  • Temple of Hadrian,  -  • Celsus Library,  -  • Grand Theatre,  -  • Arcadian Way.  - Curetes street takes its name from the priests, who are called as Curetes, later. Their names were written in Prytaneion. It is one of the 3 main avenues of the Ephesians between the Hercules Gate and Celsus Library. On the sides of the street there were fountains, monuments, statues and shops. There were two-story shops on the south side. Unfortunately, numerous strong earthquakes in Ephesus, damaged many important structures on Curetes Street. The damaged columns have been restored and reconstructed after the earthquake. The columns you see today have been replaced by the other ones that were brought from the different buildings in the city. While walking, you can easily spot the differences of the design of these columns. - Trajan Fountain was built on the east side of the Hadrian Temple at the north end of Curetes Street. In the second century AD an inscription on the fountain says it was built and erected in honour of Emperor Trajan. This spring is considered one of Ephesus' three most majestic springs. The Trajan Fountain Pool, surrounded by columns and statues, was about 20x10 metres. Some of the statues of the family members of Trajan currently displayed in Ephesus Museum.  - The Odeon of Antique Ephesus is a small, semi-circular theatre built in the 2nd century A.D and funded by Publius Vedius Antonius and Flavia Paiana, his wife. The building would have been a place for political meetings, social events, concerts and plays.  - Wander among the beautifully preserved remains of the library built for a great lover of knowledge, the Roman Senator Celsus. The Celsus Library was one of the largest libraries in the ancient world, housing over 12,000 rolls and is the Senator's mausoleum. Come and become enthralled in this delightful place of wisdom. - This theatre has the 24.000 people capacity, consists of three horizontal sections. Today, thousands of visitors enjoy the splendour of the breath-taking Grand Theatre in Ephesus. - This impressive temple is dedicated to the emperor Hadrian and it is one of the most beautifully ornamented structures in Ephesus we must say. P. Quintilius built this masterpiece before 138 A.D for the Emperor who came to visit Ephesus from Athens. The temple's façade has four Corinthian columns that support a curved ark with a relief of Tyche, the goddess of victory, in the middle. Emperor Hadrian has been regarded as one of the Good Five Emperors. Nervus, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius managed to win support and cooperation from the Senate, which had not been accomplished by former emperors. Therefore, we can use this term for all those emperors. The building is not only a temple, but rather a monument, and it also was devoted to the goddess Artemis and the Ephesians. - Artemis Temple was one of the seven wonders of the world; it was also referred to as Artemisium, is very close to Ephesus. Croesus, the king of Lydia, built this large temple around 550 BC and was reconstructed after it was burnt by a madman named Herostratus in 356 BC. The Artemisium was not only famous for its large dimensions, more than 350 by 180 feet (approximately 110 by 55 m), but also for its magnificent works of art. In 262 CE the temple was destroyed by invading Goths in 262 CE and never rebuilt again. Little remains of the temple is in the British Museum. There are many fragments, particularly sculptured columns displayed in the museum. Traces of both Croesus' temple and of that of the 4th century and of three previously smaller ones have been revealed in the excavation. - House of Virgin Mary is the house that Mother Mary lived her days after the Resurrection of Christ. She was brought to Ephesus by Apostle John. House of Virgin Mary is one of the pilgrimage sites for Christians where she had her recently time and died. Pope Paul VI visited the shrine in 1967, Pope John Paul II also visited the shrine in 1979 and finally Pope Benedictus XVI visited the House of Virgin Mary in November 25, 2006. Here you will walk the same spiritual path as experienced by various Popes. This is considered one of the great pilgrimage sites for Catholics and Christians worldwide, where you will have the opportunity to drink the holy water, known to many for it healing energies, from the sacred spring located on the Virgin Mary grounds. Virgin Mary’s House is recognized by the Catholic Church. - This reopened lovely museum houses several artefacts from the great Temple of Artemis in Ephesus and finds from many other important antiques, Hellenistic and Roman cities of the region. The architectural objects excavated in Ephesus are the best in the region. The museum's artefacts are rotating so, you can find various artefacts every time you visit.
