The richest of the Ephesians used to live in the center of the city. Today seven of the old Roman villas are still visible and open for your visit. We will be visiting Terrace Houses in Ephesus during our walk through in Ephesus. Terrace Houses show some of the best works of ancient frescos and mosaics.
Temple of Artemis (A.K.A. Temple of Diana)
Today temple does not have a lot left from it’s old beauty. Temple was destroyed by ‘’Herosdotus’’ in fourth century B.C. and could never gain it’s old glory. Single column left from temple still gives us an idea about temple’s original look.
