Efes, known in English as Ephesus, is Turkey's
most important antique city, and one of the best
preserved and restored. Dating back 3,000 years,
one can still stroll for hours along its streets,
past temples, theatres, libraries, houses, and
statues.
This was a place for cults. Cybele, the Goddess
of Anatolia was replaced by Artemis for whom the
most sumptuous temple was built in Efes considered
to be one of the seven wonders of the ancient
world.
