Sirince
多多姐小桃DorisThis Turkish-style town is built on the hillside. Not many people come here during the Spring Festival. Adults drink a glass of pomegranate juice, children eat ice cream, and take a bottle of raspberry wine for 35 liras to take photos at the hotel near the Aegean Sea at night. Although it is a scenic spot, the prices of soft candies and black tea here are very reasonable. The refrigerator magnets are 5 yuan each, and the bowls, plates and decorations are basically half of those in Istanbul. You can buy some souvenirs here.
The Temple of Artemis
莲莲子99The remaining ruins of this place are really pitiful, so there is no entrance fee. There are only two vendors selling postcards at the door. There are no tourists inside. Only a huge pillar and a vaguely visible foundation are left.
Ephesus Archaeological Museum
BbhdmfvjAfter visiting the ancient city ruins, you can’t miss the museum either. Many fine works have been moved to the museum for protection. You can even see a headless stone statue in the ancient ruins. Its head may be in the museum. It is said that the treasure of the museum is Priapus, but I prefer the goddess of harvest. Which sculpture do you like best?
Efes Antik Tiyatrosu
DD了个YThe Ephesus Theatre is located at the end of Arcadia Avenue in the ancient city of Ephesus. It is one of the landmark buildings of the ancient city of Ephesus. It was built in the 3rd century BC in the ancient Greek era and expanded during the Roman Empire. It was used as a performance drama and a gladiator. The venue is also the main venue for Ephesus festivals and large performances. The entire theater is centered on the performance stage. It is built along the hillside in a semicircular shape. The architectural style of the theater perfectly blends the ancient Greek and ancient Roman theaters. The large theater has 66 rows of seats. The 154 meters are 38 meters high and can accommodate up to 2.5 10,000 people. It is even bigger than the amphitheater in the acropolis. Even if it is placed today, it is a large-scale theater. It can be seen how magnificent in that era, except for the large scale, the theater is in audiovisual effect. The design is amazing, too. From the stage, each row of seats is leaner and steeper than the front row. It's amazing to use echoes to make the upper periphery audiences hear the performances in the center of the stage.
