YOU VISIT
Ephesus
Enter through the Magnesia Gate and begin a slow,
downhill walk with your guide into the ruins of this Roman
provincial capital. Your route takes you past the Odeon, the
Celsus Library, the Temple of Hadrian, the Fountain of Trajan
and the Great Theater. The theater had seating for 25,000, which
was the site where St. Paul preached to the Ephesians, and is
used today for a local spring festival.
You will stop for a traditional Turkish open-air lunch just
outside of Ephesus before continuing the tour.
Archeological Museum
you will be escorted through the nine exhibits tracing the
religious and chronological history of the ancient city. Filled
with attractively displayed mosaics, statuary, and other
artifacts, the museum exhibits several marble statues of the
Mother Goddess Artemis, goddess of nature, childbirth, and the
harvest. Combining the Information at the Open Air Museum and
the Archeology Museum will give you a very fulfilling idea of
the city of Ephesus and its importance in the ancient times.
