You will be met at Kusadasi Port or your hotel for a comfortable round-trip transfer to explore the historic Temple of Artemis and nearby Ephesus.
The Temple of Artemis, also known as the Artemesium, was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Located in the ancient city of Ephesus near modern-day Selcuk, Turkey, it was dedicated to Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunting, wilderness, and fertility.
Constructed around the 6th century BCE and rebuilt several times over the centuries, the final temple, completed around 550 BCE, was renowned for its massive size and Ionic-style columns, measuring approximately 115 meters long and 55 meters wide. It served as a religious, cultural, and economic center, attracting visitors from across the Mediterranean.
Though the temple was destroyed and rebuilt multiple times, including the famous destruction in 356 BCE by Herostratus, its legacy as one of the greatest temples of the ancient world remains. Today, the site is marked by ruins and archaeological remnants, offering visitors a glimpse into its former grandeur.
After visiting this remarkable historical site, you will be safely returned to Kusadasi Port or your hotel.
