A re-enactment of daily activities in ancient Ephesus.

Ancient Amphitheater. Almost similar to the modern amphitheater except now it’s in an enclose space with cushioned seats and high-tech sound system.

Tunnels and entryways.

Massive pillars of what used to be colossal palaces.

Everything that man created, however massive or great it was will all come to ruin. And will just be a part of history.

A visit to a modern day carpet and tapestry factory.
They also served us great tasting coffee.
