Cosa aspettarsi

L'antica città di Efeso è uno dei siti classici più visitati al mondo. Dall'VIII secolo a.C. al III secolo d.C. la città fiorì sotto il dominio greco e poi romano. Oggi è un tesoro storico straordinariamente ben conservato, considerando la sua età, e mentre vaghi tra le rovine è facile immaginare il trambusto e le chiacchiere della vita quotidiana di molto tempo fa.

La tua avventura inizia con un tour del museo interattivo, incluso nel biglietto d'ingresso. Ammira la meraviglia delle case a schiera, che di solito non sono incluse nei tour di Efeso. Tra i corridoi e i cortili, un tempo dimora dei ricchi efesini, avrai un'idea dello stile di vita opulento dell'epoca. Queste case erano occupate da alcune delle famiglie più ricche del mondo e i dettagli eleganti degli straordinari mosaici e degli affreschi che adornano le pareti ti trasportano indietro nel tempo.

La tua guida ti accompagnerà lungo le strade di marmo di Efeso dove un tempo camminavano San Paolo, Cleopatra e Alessandro Magno. Inoltre, visiterai la Biblioteca di Celso, uno dei pochi esempi rimasti di biblioteca dell'Impero Romano, e l'anfiteatro che poteva contenere 24.000 spettatori.

Osserva la conservazione culturale in azione presso l'Art Ceramic Center, dove i metodi tradizionali della ceramica sono ancora molto vivi. Guarda come si lavora la ceramica e poi prova a dipingere piastrelle create da artigiani locali. Entrambe le esperienze sono disponibili esclusivamente per i viaggiatori di National Geographic. Il tour si conclude con una degustazione di vini fruttati regionali, una specialità locale.

    Tour of Ephesus and Ezra the guide was amazing. Don’t think the pottery part of the trip was really necessary.

Nat Geo Day Tour: The Ancient Mosaics and Artistry of Ephesus

The ancient city of Ephesus is one of the most visited classical sites in the world. From the 8th century BC to the 3rd century AD, the city flourished under Greek and then Roman rule. Today, it's a historical treasure trove in a remarkably well-preserved state considering its great age, and it's easy to imagine the bustle and chatter of daily life long ago as you roam through the ruins. Your adventure begins with a tour of the interactive museum, included with your entry ticket. Take in the wonder of the Terraced Houses, which are not usually included in Ephesus tours. Among the corridors and courtyards, once home to affluent Ephesians, you will get a sense of the opulent lifestyle of the day. These houses were occupied by some of the world's richest families, and the elegant details transport you back in time as you admire the striking mosaics and frescoes adorning the walls. Your guide will then lead you down the marble streets of Ephesus where St. Paul, Cleopatra and Alexander the Great once walked. A visit to the Library of Celsus, one of the only remaining examples of a library from the Roman Empire, and the amphitheater that could hold 24,000 spectators, are other highlights of this tour. See cultural conservation in action at the Art Ceramic Centre where traditional pottery methods are still very much alive. Watch a pottery demonstration and then try your hand at painting tiles created by local artisans, both experiences available exclusively for National Geographic travelers. Your tour concludes with a tasting session of regional fruit wines, a local speciality.

Ancient Ephesus tour with House of the Virgin Mary
Excursions & day trips

Ancient Ephesus tour with House of the Virgin Mary

The hills around Kuşadası are home to two of Turkey's most popular historical sites – the ancient city of Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary. You'll be whisked through centuries of history at Ephesus, see one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and visit an important pilgrimage site on Mount Koressos – all in one afternoon. Esra, one of our expert local guides, says, "The Library of Celsus is one of the most impressive landmarks of Ephesus. It once held over 12,000 scrolls and was the third-largest library in the ancient world."Kick off with a drive into the sun-soaked hills to visit the House of the Virgin Mary. According to popular belief, St John the Evangelist brought Mary to Ephesus after the crucifixion of Jesus, and she lived here until her death. Next, it's time to head to the ancient city of Ephesus, where a journey through history awaits. Your guide will lead you around the sprawling archaeological site and point out its highlights while regaling you with fascinating historic tales of this once-powerful city. While you're here, you'll also walk through the museum, where digital exhibits help to bring the place to life by showcasing what Ephesus could've looked like in its heyday. You'll stroll down marble-paved streets where mosaics and frescoes still decorate the walls of ancient Roman houses, gaze at the Temples of Artemis and Hadrian, and be blown away by the Library of Celsus. Esra says "I love to imagine the Great Theatre filled with 25,000 spectators. They would come to watch gladiator clashes, political rallies and performances in this theatre, a hub of city life. You can almost hear the roar of the crowd."

Both are UNESCO-listed, so it's a two-for-one deal on Turkey's historical gems.

Pamukkale sunrise hot air balloon ride from Kusadasi

The cotton-white calcium terraces of Pamukkale have such a dream-like quality that, at first glance, you'd think you're drifting over snowy hills and frozen waterfalls.
