One of the most iconic buildings of the ancient world. Its impressive façade is one of the most photographed landmarks in Turkey.


Great Theatre

A massive amphitheatre carved into the hillside, once holding up to 25,000 spectators. Climb the steps and enjoy a panoramic view of the ancient city.


Curetes Street

A small but elegant structure decorated with detailed carvings. It is considered one of the most refined buildings in Ephesus.


Ancient Latrines

One of the most surprising parts of the city. These public toilets show how advanced Roman urban life was over two thousand years ago.
