These cliff houses are amazing and worth the visit. the method of displaying them with glass walkways is superb. It is a must in Ephesus.

If you have made the trek to Ephesus, spare no expense (in your time or money) to see the Terrace Houses. I forgot how much the... More

Archealogists have found work reassembling the floor mosaics--the tiles are laid out on huge tables like jigsaw puzzle pieces, and they have uncovered ancient wall murals reminiscent of soothing wallpaper. I did not want to pay the extra fee to go through, having just paid to get into Ephesus but this... More
