Historical site which is a must visit place! Come and feast your eyes with the beauty of the once magnificent city!
There is another entrance which needs another fee to see the historical daily use of stuff. I would have loved to go but due to time constraint following a tour group, i couldn't go😭

This is the real entrance to Ephesus Archaeological site, costs 40TL. The site is large & very interesting. So, spend at lea st half a day there. But bring lots lots of water as there is no water / shops inside

The separation gate between the two hierarchical parts of Ephesus Ancient City.
It give perfect pictures from the lower part of the gate with a backdrop of blue skies.

Incredible preserved until now. This was the main gate separating the official area of Ephesus from the social area.
At the present, there is remaining two side of the columns with Hercules figures with the skin of the Nemean lion in mythology and reliefs of the flying Nikes on the top of gate.
There are no care of the monuments and ruins. The government should seriously think protecting those treasures from predatory tourists.

This was introduced to stop carts going into the market. It's still pretty well preserved.

Nice monument to see but the whole Ephesus archaeological monument needs care to be conserved!
Manu groups of people coming around the world don't know how to treat marbles and behave like monkeys!
Please treat Ephesus as it is your history although it's Greek's!
