“A mind that is
stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” –
Oliver Wendell Holmes. This saying is so true about experiencing Ephesus. Once you
see Ephesus and witness the massive scale and perfect beauty of the marble and
stone structures you begin to realize that the sophistication, culture and
knowledge of people thousands of years ago was of a level that we cannot even
begin to imagine today. And along with this comes the realization that no
matter how immensely powerful, rich, knowledge and beautiful, time spares no
one and everything inevitably slips into history.
There is a lot to see
in and around Ephesus and it is extremely important to have a reputed tour
operator for sightseeing. About Ephesus is one of the leading tour operators
for Ephesus sightseeing, who will ensure that your trip is memorableand
enjoyable. They have options of half day, full day and customized tours. The
places you would like to visit will determine the tour package you choose.
There are 5 types of options on offer- Ephesus highlights, Biblical, St. John, Sirince
and Archaeological
Ephesus by About Ephesus. These
options are available for both half day and full day tours.
The sites at Ephesus
are innumerable and amazing- temples, fountains, libraries, theatres, baths,
brothels, homes and streets, which give you a glimpse of the lavish way of life
of the ancient Romans. Ephesus was a very wealthy Mediterranean port city and
was a great centre of learning as well. It is impossible to visit each and
every place in a day or two, but About Ephesus has some extremely well planned
itineraries. A full day tour of Archaeological
Ephesus by About Ephesus will cover the
Temple of Artemis which is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, Hadrian
Temple, Celsus Library, Grand Theatre,Terrace Houses and the Archaeological
Ephesus Museum. A half day Archaeological tour would exclude the Archaeological
Museum.
The tours of About
Ephesus are extremely well managed, and they are able to pack in the maximum
number of important sites within the time available. They can pick you up as
well as drop you back from/to your port/ hotel/airport. All transportation is
air-conditioned, the arrangements are excellent, their customer service is
superb and most of all ,the tour guides are extremely knowledgeable, friendly
and patient. The prices are reasonable and the overall service will leave you
delighted and happy!
Archaeologists from
many parts of the world are continuously working to unearth the treasure trove
of monuments of this UNESCO heritage site. It is estimated that 85% of Ephesus
yet remains to be discovered and it is staggering to think that the huge
numbers of exquisite marble and stone ancient ruins that one is seeing today is
just 15% of Ephesus! This of course ensures
that you will have to keep returning to see the rest of Ephesus as it keeps
getting unearthed and About Ephesus will be happy to see you back again and
again!
