Ephesus

This family's experience:

Activities: We booked a small group tour through the cruise company that included the interior apartments that had been uncovered

Highlights: We loved standing in the theater where Paul stood and hearing the fantastic acoustics ✨

This family's experience:

Activities: We visited Ephesus, a fabulous site, but difficult for children. The site is vast, crowded, and with no shade. We visited very early in the morning before the first buses arrived and the heat set in

Highlights: Although difficult for children, it was fabulous. We went early to avoid the crowds and heat ✨

This family's experience:

Activities: We explored the ancient city of Ephesus, learning about its history and seeing the remains of the city, including the Celsus Library and the amphitheater

Highlights: The kids were glad we no longer share washing water after using the toilet, and we were all impressed by the massive size of the city! ✨

This family's experience:

Activities: We took a day trip to nearby Ephesus, an ancient city that was an important and bustling Roman trading port in its heyday. We were walking through the unearthed remains of an entire city, with city gates, two amphitheaters, Greek and Roman temples, houses, shops, public baths, the library of Celsus and more

Highlights: I was most impressed by the larger of the two amphitheaters. Built by the Greeks and enlarged by the Romans, it could seat 25,000 people and was important to Roman social and public life ✨
