Ephesus Trip – from Marmaris – Full Details

Today one of the most significant open-air museums in the world, the city of Ephesus was once dedicated to the ancient Greek goddess Artemis.

Situated on the west coast of Anatolia in Ionia, Ephesus became an important commercial centre and international port, partly due to its location in a fertile valley.
