Step back to a 2000 year old city filled with history and mystery! 

Alhamdulillah, it’s been on my bucket list for ages, so I was so grateful when we were able to visit this important historical site last summer.

It was fascinating and exhilarating viewing this remarkable archeological site- once a thriving Greek/ Roman city.

What’s to do there?
We basically walked through different significant ruins, including the underground city reflecting on pervious civilisations that lived there and created this city. You need about 2-3 hours.

We began the day with a visit to House of Mary (Maryam, may Allah be pleased with her) – see next post about that.

Top tips:
– the reviews are right that there’s limited shade! Dress cool, carry enough water and snacks
– we combined it with a stay at the beach in Kusadasi
– we carried a water spray bottle and umbrella to stay cool
– rocky, uneven path but stroller needed for smaller kids.
– we paid a guide which helped to bring it alive otherwise you’re just looking at piles of stone!

We learnt alot from the guide, and found every area fascinating.

There’s so much to take in, I loved the whole vibe (albeit an extremely hot day )

Do you love historical sites? What strikes you about Ephesus? Would you go?
