Ephesus Ancient City
Near Selçuk, Ephesus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved ancient cities on the Mediterranean. The grand façade of the Library of Celsus, the 25,000-seat Great Theatre, and the marble-paved Curetes Street make it a meeting point of ancient history and faith tourism alike. It's about 1 hour 10 minutes from İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport by private transfer.
