音频游览 Ancient city of Ephesus

While many experienced tourists can point to Pompeii in Italy as an ancient city to walk through, there is another similar place in Turkey – the city of Ephesus. The pearl of the eastern Mediterranean, it is an excellent demonstration of the ostentatious wealth of Roman settlements on the shores of Asia Minor. While Pompeii was built mainly of brick, Ephesus used the best and most expensive building materials, including many variations of marble.

These places remember Herodotus, who wrote his "History" here, King Croesus, Alexander the Great, Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony, Cleopatra and the Apostle Paul, who preached the Gospel here.

And now it's time for you to walk through the streets of this city and touch, literally, history. Our audio guide will help you with this. The total route of the excursion route is more than 2.5 km and is designed for two hours. The tour includes 38 main sites, and two as optional. These are the "Stadium" and the "Grotto of the Seven Sleepers". You can visit them both before and after the main tour.
