5 must see spots on Ephesus tour

Discover Ancient Wonders with Ephesus Bus Tours

Ephesus is one of the most remarkable archaeological sites in the world — a living museum of Roman architecture, culture, and civilization. Located on Turkey’s Aegean coast, this ancient city once rivaled Rome in grandeur and power.

At Ephesus Bus Tours, we don’t just take you there — we bring history to life with expert storytelling, comfortable travel, and personalized experiences. Whether you’re a history buff or a curious traveler, here are 5 must-see stops on your Ephesus tour — and why experiencing them with us makes all the difference.

 

1. The Library of Celsus

One of the most photographed sites in Ephesus

Built in 110 AD, the Library of Celsus once held over 12,000 scrolls and served as a monumental tomb for the Roman senator Tiberius Julius Celsus. Its stunning two-story façade, intricate carvings, and symmetrical beauty make it a highlight for every visitor.

Why it’s better with us: Our guides share fascinating insights about the library’s construction, symbolism, and architectural secrets — like how it was built to protect scrolls from humidity and fire. We time our visits to avoid crowds and ensure you get the best photos.

2. The Great Theatre

Where the past still echoes

This massive amphitheater once hosted 25,000 people for plays, concerts, and even gladiator battles. Its perfect acoustics and imposing scale make it one of Ephesus’ most powerful sites.

Why it’s better with us: Stand at the center stage and hear your voice travel through history. Our guide will bring ancient performances to life with stories about politics, religion, and entertainment in Roman times.

3. Curetes Street

The main artery of Ephesus life

Lined with marble columns, statues, fountains, and temples, Curetes Street connected the upper and lower parts of Ephesus. Walking here feels like strolling through time.

Why it’s better with us: We’ll point out hidden gems, ancient shops, and political buildings that most tourists miss — all while you enjoy a relaxed, guided walk filled with real stories of daily Roman life.

4. Temple of Artemis

One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World

Once one of the largest temples on earth, only a few columns remain of this once-glorious site. But its historical and mythological significance still captivates visitors.

Why it’s better with us: We include this site in your tour — with transport and context. You’ll learn about the cult of Artemis, her connection to fertility, and how this temple shaped the identity of Ephesus.

5. Terrace Houses

Peek inside elite Roman lifestyles

These beautifully preserved homes belonged to the wealthy citizens of Ephesus. Expect colorful frescoes, mosaic floors, and even ancient under floor heating systems!
