can’t Ephesus enough how amazing this is

#celebratewithtrip

Ephesus is an ancient city in Turkey’s Central Aegean region, near modern-day Selçuk.
There is so much to talk about within this site. First and foremost is that the entire city is covered in marble, and this includes the streets and sidewalks. A wonderful site. The walk down to the library is spectacular with so much to see.
A fantastic place to tour how they managed to build all the buildings without modern equipment never ceases to amaze me. The ruins are in such terrific shape, it doesn't seem as old as they really are. The Library is a must see and the amphitheater is so large, it's amazing to think how they built it. We went go to the upper gate of the Ephesus and then walk all the way down to the lower gate. When you we came out of the lower gate we can also walk back to Selcuk. It is a pleasant walk of about 2-3 kms. This is one of my all time traveling highlights. The Ancient City of Ephesus is absolutely fascinating and despite the ruins it is still possible to get a very real feel for what life was like. I felt as if I were transported back in time.
Truly worth a visit. I loved it !

Tips
1. Need good walking shoes with good grip as the marble gets slick in some areas, especially coming down steps.
2. Wear sun block, bring enough water and hat or sunglasses to enjoy this large ancient city.
3. For those on a budget avoid the market at the entry , its overpriced. The souvenir shop at the site is pretty good .
