| The Touch of Antiquity |
|
A short drive will take you to the entrance to ancient city
of Ephesus that was built on a small hill. Once you enter
the Open Air Archeological Museum of Ephesus and pass by the
Magnesia gate, you will enter the administrative section of
ancient Ephesus. The guided walking tour will take you
through one of the most magnificent excavations in the
world. See the Odeon, the Fountain of Trajan, the steam
baths of Scholastika, temple of Hadrian and the impressive
library of Celsius. The Grand Theater, where St. Paul
preached, is one of the largest theaters in antiquity with a
capacity of 24,000 seats. You will return to your private
car
through the Arcadian way, where Mark Anthony and Cleopatra
once rode in procession. Overlooking Ephesus are the remains of St. John's Basilica, a once great church built on a 2nd century tomb thought to hold the remains of St. John. While the church is now in ruins, there are frescoes, mosaics and graceful columns that attest to the glory that marked the place where St. John, the Evangelist, lived and died. The site requires stair climbing at the entrance and walking over uneven dirt, stones and gravel walkways. By the end of your touring you'll return to Izmir.
