Ephesus: What to see nearby?

What our travelers think of their stay

Included among the most important cities from Antiquity, Ephesus houses the relics of many civilisations.

My suggestion

The site has very few spots in the shade and is situated in a scorching region. In the summer, you feel like you are literally roasting all through the tour. Make sure you have sun cream and hats!

As an ancient site of absolutely exceptional quality, Ephesus is often inundated with visitors during the tourist season.

My suggestion

Most of the archaeological discoveries made at the Ephesus site can today be found in the museum in the neighboring town of Selçuk as well as in Vienna and in the British Museum in London.

Ephesus is an archaeological treasure on the west coast of Turkey.

My suggestion

It's best to visit Ephesus off-season. You'll avoid the stifling, summer heat. It's also easier to conjur up images of ancient Greeks and Romans going about their daily lives when there are no tourist coaches blocking the entrance!

In the morning, when the cold still dominates, the light turns a pale blue colour, the mist rolls over the valley and there is only silence on the planet of Cappadocia. Suddenly, the first rays of sunlight inundate the landscape and dozens of hot air balloons paint a coloured spectrum in the sky, floating in space above this magical planet.

Hasankeyf, ephemeral splendour.

Hasankeyf is in south-eastern Turkey, a very small city containing numerous natural and human wonders.
