Terrace Houses, Ephesus
Roman homes of wealthy families under a protective roof inside Ephesus, with wall paintings and mosaic floors. Separate ticket, well worth it.

House of the Virgin Mary
A small stone chapel in the hills above Ephesus, honoured by Christians and Muslims as the Virgin Mary's last home. Quiet and shady, with a wishing wall.

Ephesus Archaeological Site
A huge Roman city of marble streets, temples and theatres, with the two-storey Library of Celsus as its showpiece. Most visitors walk downhill from the upper gate to the lower one, so ask your driver to meet you at the other end.

Temple of Artemis
A single rebuilt column in a marshy field marks the site of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. A short stop on the way to or from Ephesus.
