Watch the ancient wonders of Ephesus unfold before you on a four-hour guided tour of its ruins that includes the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, plus an inside look at the Terrace Houses. Enjoy a scenic 30-minute coach drive into the heart of Ephesus, an ancient Greek city built in the 10th century B.C. Follow an expert guide around the ruins of the city, passing under the Magnesian Gate, and standing before the Library of Celsus — this stately building once housed 12,000 scrolls. Moving on, enter the Great Theatre, an open-air space where gladiators once battled before crowds of up to 25,000. You'll then enter a collection of Terrace Houses situated on the hillsides of Bulbul Mountain. Known as the residences of the wealthy, these homes feature peristyle courtyards, individual heating systems, frescoed walls, and mosaic floors. Enjoy a glimpse into family life during the Roman period before enjoying 15 minutes to freely shop for souvenirs. Back in Kusadasi you have the choice of watching a brief Turkish carpet presentation or walking independently back to the ship.
