Ting å gjøre i Ephesus
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.

Ancient Ephesus tour with pottery-making demonstration
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."

You can almost hear the roar of the crowd."

Nat Geo Day Tour: Efesos' antikke mosaikker og kunsthåndverk
Den antikke byen Efesos er et av de mest besøkte klassiske utgravingsstedene i verden. Fra 800-tallet f.Kr. til 300-tallet e.Kr. blomstret byen under gresk og deretter romersk styre. I dag er den en historisk skattekiste som er bemerkelsesverdig godt bevart, alderen tatt i betraktning, og det er lett å forestille seg det travle og livlige hverdagslivet for lenge siden når man vandrer gjennom ruinene.Eventyret begynner med en omvisning i det interaktive museet, som er inkludert i inngangsbilletten. Opplev de forunderlige terrassehusene, som vanligvis ikke er med i programmet på utflukter til Efesos. Blant korridorene og gårdsplassene, som en gang var hjem for velstående efesere, får du en fornemmelse av datidens overdådige livsstil. Disse husene var bebodd av noen av verdens rikeste familier, og de elegante detaljene tar deg tilbake i tid mens du beundrer de slående mosaikkene og freskomaleriene som pryder veggene.Deretter tar guiden deg med nedover Efesos' marmorgater der Paulus, Kleopatra og Aleksander den store en gang gikk. Et besøk i Celsus-biblioteket, et av de eneste gjenværende eksemplene på et bibliotek fra Romerriket, og amfiteateret med plass til 24 000 tilskuere er andre høydepunkter på denne turen.På Art Ceramic Centre kan du se kulturbevaring i praksis, der tradisjonelle keramikkmetoder fortsatt lever i beste velgående. Her kan du overvære en keramikkdemonstrasjon og prøve deg på å male fliser laget av lokale håndverkere – begge deler er opplevelser som kun er tilgjengelige for National Geographic-reisende. Turen avsluttes med en prøvesmaking av regionale fruktviner, en lokal spesialitet.

Private tour of Ancient Ephesus with pottery demonstration
Ephesus is one of the best-preserved ancient sites in the world. So well-preserved that it's not difficult to imagine the roar of the crowd at the Great Theatre, or the hubbub of the busy main street in its heyday 2,000 years ago. Defne, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – the Temple of Artemis – Ephesus was a beacon of power and wealth at that time. It was also an important hub of trade, culture and religion. It's influence spread far and wide, and it played a particularly important part in the story of early Christianity.'You'll step back in time as you travel through sun-soaked hills and olive groves to explore Ephesus with your private guide. This extensive archaeological site encompasses marble-paved streets, mosaics in ancient Roman houses and epoch-defining buildings such as the Library of Celsus, the Temple of Hadrian and the Great Theatre. Your personal guide will explain the historical context and point out the most interesting features as you roam the site.After your tour, we'll round things off with a visit to a ceramics factory to see how Turkish pottery is made. The Seljuks, who ruled much of Anatolia in the 11th century, are credited with bringing the art of pottery to Turkey from Central Asia. 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.
