EPHESUS TRIP FROM MARMARIS OVERVIEW:
Undoubtedly the most famous of Turkey’s ancient sites, and considered the best-preserved ruins in the Mediterranean, Ephesus is a power tribute to Greek artistry and Roman architectural prowess. A stroll along the marble-coated Curetes Way provides myriad photo opportunities, but the true piece de resistance is the Terraced Houses complex, offering incredible insights into the daily lives of the city’s elite through vivid frescoes and sophisticated mosaics. Much of the city is yet to be unearthed. Template of Hadriad.
