Ephesus – a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Türkiye – packs a serious punch with its ruins, temples, and mosaics from a once-thriving Roman civilisation. The Library of Celsus is the big draw, an Insta-dream showcasing classical architecture that once housed over 12,000 scrolls of age-old wisdom. It’s easy to imagine the crowd's roar at the Great Theatre, which could seat 24,000 people, where gladiator fights and political rallies took place. The Romans really left their mark on this city.

From the Temple of Artemis – now just a single column, still rocking its ancient fame as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – to the quirky public toilets where real ancient gossip went down. And let’s not forget the mosaics. You’ll admire the well-preserved, intricate floor designs created by expert artisans, featuring mythological scenes that offer a deeper glimpse into Roman life and thought.

Ephesus brings the past to life. This tour combines the ancient city with a visit to a typical ceramics factory for a glimpse into traditional pottery making. First up, you'll relive the glory days of the Roman Empire as you explore the monuments of Ephesus on a guided tour. Gökhan, one of our expert local guides, says "the archaeological site is so well-preserved that it's easy to imagine you are walking in the footsteps of the toga-clad crowds that gathered and chattered in the streets 2,000 years ago."Crammed with temples, relics and religious statues, you'll walk the marble streets as your guide explains their history. A star attraction is the Insta-perfect Library of Celsus – a feat of classical architecture that once housed the brightest scholars of the day and more than 12,000 scrolls of age-old wisdom. Strolling between the column-lined avenues, you'll peep into crumpled shops and houses en route to the Grand Theatre – a colossal amphitheatre where St Paul once preached. There's a museum here, too, which you'll walk through during your visit. It's digital exhibits are designed to help you imagine what life was like in Ephesus during its heyday. We'll round things off with a visit to a ceramics factory to see how Turkish pottery is made. Marvel at the precision of the master potter – working only by eye – as he decorates and paints traditional pieces. It's one of the best places to snap up some authentic souvenirs and support local livelihoods. Gökhan adds "Cini ceramics are a traditional Turkish art form. Look out for the popular tulip and carnation motifs – the tulip symbolises the unity of God, while the carnation represents nature and renewal."

Nat Geo Day Tour: Efesoksen muinaiset mosaiikit ja taide

Antiikin aikainen Efesoksen kaupunki on yksi maailman suosituimmista historiallisista nähtävyyksistä. Kaupunki kukoisti ensin kreikkalaisten ja sitten roomalaisten vallan alla 700-luvulta eaa. aina 200-luvulle asti. Nykyään se on hämmästyttävän hyvin säilynyt historiallinen aarreaitta, jonka raunioilla kulkiessa on helppo kuvitella kauan sitten vallinnut arkipäivän vilske.Seikkailusi alkaa kierroksella interaktiivisessa museossa. Ihaile rivitaloja, jotka eivät yleensä kuulu Efesoksen kierroksiin. Kävellessäsi käytävien ja sisäpihojen keskellä, joissa asui aikoinaan varakkaita paikallisia, saat käsityksen silloisesta yltäkylläisestä elämäntyylistä. Näissä taloissa asui joitakin maailman rikkaimmista perheistä. Ihaile seiniä koristavia mosaiikkeja ja freskoja, ja siirry ajassa taaksepäin.Sitten oppaasi johdattaa sinut Efesoksen marmorikaduille, joilla Pyhä Paavali, Kleopatra ja Aleksanteri Suuri aikoinaan kulkivat. Vierailet Celsuksen kirjastossa, joka on yksi ainoista jäljellä olevista roomalaisen valtakunnan kirjastoista, ja amfiteatterissa, johon mahtui 24 000 katsojaa.Käyt myös Art Ceramic Centre -keskuksessa, jossa perinteiset keramiikkatekniikat on edelleen voimissaan. Katsele taiteilijaa työssään, jonka jälkeen pääset maalaamaan paikallisten käsityöläisten tekemiä kaakeleita. Molemmat elämykset ovat tarjolla yksinomaan National Geographicin matkalaisille. Kierroksen päätteeksi pääset maistelemaan paikallisia hedelmäviinejä.
