Pros: An all-around amazing historic site. Cons: MUST get there early to beat the crowds!
The Chelledun family and I just spent two and a half weeks in the Mediterranean viewing more museums and historic sites than I thought possible in such an amount of time. Out of them all, however, Ephesus stands out as the absolute highlight. ...
Pros: The best site to get a real sense of how people lived in ancient days Cons: Terribly hot (in June) and dreadfully crowded
One of the things I learned on my recent trip to Turkey is that it’s the best place to go to see ancient history before your very eyeballs. Most of what we think of as Greek history actually happened in Turkey. Of course, the fact that it happened when...
Pros: Ephesus is a fantastic, huge site. The Library of Celsus unforgettable. Cons: Very crowded, hot in summer. Pamukkale's beauty has been wrecked by development.
Sorry about the multiple-city review, I will clean it up once Pamukkale is added as a separate location. For now I will lump them together, as Pamukkale is a common day trip from Kusadasi/Ephesus.
Pros: greatly preserved ancient city/neighbor city Selcuk is really nice Cons: its so popular it gets crowded early
I was on my way down from Istanbul to Izmir, sleeping on the bus with my face against the glass window and listening to "Meus Momentos", a Brazilian compilation of music by Lo Borges, when we pulled into a large, modern looking bus station,...
Pros: Well-preserved; clean; beautiful; historic; the Library of Celsus Cons: None that I could find when I was there
The Apostle Paul spent more time in the city of Ephesus than in any other place he visited. It was here that he faced the riot of the silversmiths, led by Demetrius, and it was also here that the young evangelist Timothy served as a pastor.
Pros: incredibly well-preserved, gives a great sense of history Cons: slightly crowded, overzealous vendors at entrance and exit are annoying
Ephesus is one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world, and when visiting you really get a feel for its layout as a city. Some historical sites have a ruin here and there, but at Ephesus everything is more or less in place, including the...
Pros: Beautiful and steeped in history! Cons: Hot in the summer, no shelter.
I had occasion to travel to Ephesus on the Turkish west coast in the mid 80’s, when I was living in Turkey. I lived in this ancient and beautiful country for 1.5 years in a small town on the Black Sea coast in north central Turkey, called Sinop. I...
Ephesus was an absolutely amazing sight to behold. It was a very large city and the excavation has been outstanding. The library at Celcius, one of the seven wonders of the ancient...
Pros: Amazing Ancient History Cons: Could get crowded in high season
Turkey was altogether a surprise, and nothing was more surprising than Ephesus. A one hour drive from Izmir, Ephesus is located in the protecting hills of the Aegean Coast. It is surrounded by ancient olive groves, nearly as old as the ruins themselves....
