  • Tip Rating:
  • The best set of Classical ruins in the eastern Aegean is definately Ephesus. The ancient city has been largely uncovered and partially reconstructed through extensive digging. Walking along the marble streets, past the once grand library and the Greek theater, is a historical fantasy come to life.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Right in the same area as Ephesus are three wonderful sites usually combined in one excursion. The first is the Temple of Apollo whose giagantic remains will astound anyone. The ruins of the cities of Priene and Dydeme right nearby have not only big urban monuments, but also give a good impression of the layout of classical cities.
