The city is over 3,000-years-old and is one of the best-preserved ruins of any civilization in the world; during the height of its power, there were over 200,000 people living there. The main street, which is incredible, enables us to see what was once a bustling metropolis: homes, public bathing houses, the Library of Celsus and the layout of the city streets. Just outside of the centre, you will even find gymnasiums and a 25,000-seat amphitheatre.
The original Temple of Artemis was built in 550 BCE; many grand temples were erected to honour the Gods and Goddesses; however, few can compare to the Temple of Artemis. One of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World, it has been said to put the other monuments to shame. At twice the size of the Parthenon of Rome, it must have been a remarkable sight.
The house of the Virgin Mary a humble home hidden in the hills. The house is a small building that contains a dining space, a living and sleeping room, and an altar for prayer. The one luxury you will see is the well outside of the house.
IsaBey Mosque is a visual feast. Built by master craftsman Ali Damaski of Damascus in 1375. There are two entrances, east and west, both with fountains that allow for pre-prayer washing. Originally, there were two minarets; however, one was destroyed by an earthquake. The western gate is decorated with geometric shapes and epitaphs. With a large harem and incredible attention to detail, you will be thrilled at the sight.
