										Terrace House and Ephesus Tour
									
									
										
										Ephesus is considered one of the 
										spectacular outdoor museums in Turkey, 
										and in the world - and one of the 
										highlights of any visit to Turkey. 
										During this privately guided tour, the 
										city will come alive as you walk through 
										2,000 year-old marble streets to admire 
										the Library of Celsius, Hadrian's 
										Temple, the Fountains of Trajan, Polio, 
										The Temples of Hadrian and Domitian, 
										Terrace Houses, Vedious and Scholastic 
										Baths, Bouloterion, and the Great 
										Theatre with capacity of 24.000 
										spectators.
										
										Behind the shops near the Library of 
										Celsus there are luxurious private 
										houses, known as the Terrace Houses, are 
										now open to the public. Occupied from 
										the 1st century to 7th century AD, the 
										Slope Houses have been compared to the 
										1st century villas of Pompeii in 
										importance and they were used by the 
										wealthiest of the city. This is the 
										"must-see" site in Ephesus!
										
										WHAT YOU 
										VISIT
										Ephesus - Enter through the Magnesia 
										Gate and walking through the Odeon, the 
										Celsius Library, the Temple of Hadrian, 
										the Fountain of Trajan and the Great 
										Theater.
										The Theater had seating for 25,000, was 
										the site where St. Paul preached to the 
										Ephesians, and is used today for a local 
										spring festival.
										The Ephesus Terrace Houses are located 
										on the slopes of Bulbul Mountain, 
										opposite the Hadrian Temple and they are 
										called as "the houses of rich", as only 
										rich people could afford such houses.
										
										Did you know 
										that fact about Ephesus?
										But did you know about the place outside 
										of Ephesus called garbage heap (trash 
										heap)? According to the historical 
										records unwanted babies - mostly girls 
										-due to the belief to the Artemis 
										goddess (Artemis was the goddess of 
										fertility both giving blessings to woman 
										willing to have a child and also 
										protecting from the child birth, as 
										every third woman was likely to die 
										during the child birth) were left in the 
										isolated area to die. The most 
										healthiest of them were picked up by the 
										slave traders and used to be slaves or 
										prostitutes.
