"As one of the most important cities of the Roman Empire, Ephesus is among the world's best ancient sites — strolling its broad boulevards, appreciating the pillared facade of the famous Library of Celsus, peeling back the layers of dust at the Terrace Houses to understand the everyday lifestyles of the rich and Roman, and testing the acoustics in the theater where the Apostle Paul once spoke made it a perfect place to time-travel back to the grandeur of Rome; even those who don't like ruins are turned on by Ephesus' ancient landscape and visible history." - RICKSTEVES
