Antik Efes Limani

Even the ministry staff had trouble at the entrance, tourists came from abroad, they want documents, there is a printer inside, they do not make them use it, they make it difficult for them to wait, the ministry does not allow them, there is no such thing, this is a constant excuse, if you want documents, you have to put a printer, then people should not get bored, then Turkey is presented badly abroad. You are being made to work for people there to provide convenience. The man over there makes it difficult. Where are the faces five inches later, our tolerance, our smiling face, our hospitality, this is not the case in Ephesus. It is really sad to encounter the same things every time, not to go beyond a gram. Once a person goes, it turns into regret. they don't care about the pleasure inside. They even charge the baby in the swaddle with the entrance fee to the Roman houses with money inside, from the small child there. It should be intervened urgently.

Competing with Rome in the period of the glorious city of ancient times, the city could not remain without a port. Ephesus has been enriched with its port since its establishment and has become one of the largest cities of its time thanks to trade. When the alluviums of the Küçük Menderes River moved the Ephesus Port away from the sea, the star of the city of Ephesus began to fade.

The Ancient City of Ephesus started in 8600 BC as a simple settlement. It grew over the centuries and became one of the most important world capitals of its time. Thanks to the fact that the Selçuk district of İzmir, where it was founded, is one of the most fertile lands in Anatolia, trade routes pass through here, and has a port that connects the east and west of the world, the city is very developed. It saw its golden age in 129 BC after it was annexed to the Roman Empire. It became the capital of the Province of Asia. During this period (2nd-1st century BC), Ephesus became one of the largest metropolises of its time with a population of over 200,000. The wealth accumulated in the city is also reflected in the architecture. It is possible to guess how impressive the city is from the magnificence of the Celsus Library, which is displayed on its feet again. It is said to compete with Rome. The most famous structure of the city with its beauty is the Temple of Artemis, which was built by the Lydian king Creseus in 550 BC, before the city was conquered by the Romans and is among the 7 wonders of the world. Unfortunately, only a few pieces of stone and a later joined column remain from the temple today. It is thought that Artemis, a Greek goddess, is the continuation of Cybele, the Anatolian fertility goddess, and was synthesized into Greek culture. Ephesus was home to people of many religions and races. Relying on the atmosphere of tolerance here, St. John is about MS. He brings his mother, Mary, whom Jesus entrusted to him in 36 B.C., to be safe after Jesus' crucifixion in Jerusalem. Today, the house where the Virgin Mary lives is a pilgrimage site visited by Christians from all over the world.
