During the Roman period, Ephesus was the second-largest city. Its development was greatly influenced by its status as a port city. It houses the largest ancient amphitheater in the world. The theater, which has a capacity of 25,000, still maintains its acoustic structure today. Ephesus is an ancient city that is famous worldwide for its historical significance. It reached its peak during the Roman period. It was constructed entirely from marble. After the cult of Artemis, it also hosted the early years of Christianity. The main reason for its importance in ancient times was its significance as a commercial hub. After a major earthquake, the distance to the coast increased. It used to operate as a port city, which made it a popular destination and played a significant role in the spread of Christianity. After exploring all these historical traces in the ancient city of Ephesus, our guide will take you to the Ephesus Museum, located just 5 minutes away by our private vehicle.

In addition to important artifacts from the Seljuk, Ottoman, Roman, Hellenistic, Classical, Archaic, and Neo-Hellenistic periods found in and around Ephesus, the museum is one of the most significant museums in Turkey in terms of cultural activities and visitor capacity. Since it is located close to the ancient city of Ephesus, the museum primarily exhibits artifacts related to Ephesus. Accordingly, the artifacts are displayed according to their finding locations rather than in a chronological or typological order. The museum is divided into sections, including the Ephesus Artemis Hall, the Tomb Artifacts Hall, the Terrace Houses and Household Artifacts Hall, and the Coin and Treasure Section. Outside of these halls, various sculptures and architectural works are displayed harmoniously in the inner and outer gardens of the museum.

You must definitely see the artifacts that have been preserved for centuries and cannot be displayed outdoors in the ancient city of Ephesus. At the end of the tour, we will drop you off at your predetermined location with our private vehicle.
