Rank : 9.3 (average on 6 votes)

Coordinates : 37.951778,27.36434 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Exceptional archaeological site, including the remains of the famous library of Celsus and a pattern greek theater in which the Roman Empire could hold 24,000 people. The walls surrounding the city is 8 km long well-built with stone blocks and 6 meters high by 2 wide. There were two entrances to the city.In time of Octavian, called Augustus, Ephesus became the capital of the Roman province of Asia Minor, the seat of the Roman prefect and became a center of trade metropolis with more than 200,000 inhabitants.

Recommended equipment : I had with me, in addition to the Nikon D200 with two lenses on the sun visor (very useful in that beautiful sunny day), ie a zoom Nikkor 17-55

Best months : My trip took place in November and as you will see in other photos that day the sky was incredibly blue and clear, and then to Ankara and Istanbul, the rain will not let me anymore.

How to get there : From Istanbul with an hour by plane you will arrive in Izmir. Then there is a train from the airport in an hour takes you to Selcuk (the ancient city of Ephesus). A 10-minute taxi ride we arrive at the archaeological site.

Visits : Admission is free, but apart from that I made the trip in 2008, and so prices may have changed, I do not remember the price, but definitely affordable. Since there is quite a walk, take a good supply of water, because there are kiosks within the area nor drinking fountains.
