The Terrace Houses are the ancient version of condos. Archealogists have found work reassembling the floor mosaics the tiles are laid out on huge tables like jigsaw puzzle pieces, and they have uncovered ancient wall murals reminiscent of soothing wallpaper.
Para mi lo mas importante en un viaje es la comodidad, en este tour privado lo encontre y a un nivel mucho mas alto de lo que me esperaba realmente el guia un amor de persona, la pasciencia que nos entrego fue maravillosa y nos explico todo y ademas en espanol ya saben que no en todos los paises se entrega este tipo de servicios pero aca si que la hay y en casi todos los idiomas. Espero sinceramente que algun dia vayan y veran que no se arrepentiran..

Done a half day trip to ephesus, it really is amazing, and steeped in history. They are still uncovering ruins to this day. It gives you a real insight into time gone by.
La visita a Efeso, è una tra le più straordinarie che si possa fare in Turchia.
La sua splendida architettura era dedicata alla dea Artemide, il suo grande tempio, era considerato come una delle Sette Meraviglie del Mondo Antico. Efeso è di grande interesse per i cristiani dato che c’è la casa della Vergine Maria, si ritiene che la Vergine Maria venne a Efeso per sfuggire alla persecuzione cristiana e vivere gli ultimi giorni della sua vita. La casa dove si pensa abbia vissuto si trova in cima a una montagna e può essere visitata liberamente.
Abbiamo ammirato il teatro , il ginnasio, i bagni, l’agorà e la biblioteca di Celso, che custodiva 12.000 rotoli nelle nicchie delle pareti. La biblioteca, recentemente restaurata, è stata costruita in onore di Celso Gaio.
Ultima delle meraviglie che abbiamo visitato durante il nostro tour della Turchia, Efeso ci è particolarmente piaciuta, inoltre è uno dei più grandi e meglio conservati siti dell’antichità.
Meta di tantissimi turisti che con le navi da crociera approdano ad Izmir tutto belissimo ritornare cuesti anni si dio lo voli
