The Lost City of Ephesus - All you need to know

[@alanchoo825]

My wife and I were in Turkey in May 2019 and Ephesus is definitely one of our favourite. Love the magnificent Great Theatre and Library of Celsius. Simply spectacular!

[@agnesvoo6555]

Turkey is a land of beautiful people, landscape and history. So very glad my sister and I visited it last November and yes, I totally agree with you, Ephesus is one of those historical places that one must visit. Thank you very much both for the wonderful down the memory lane visual and narration of Ephesus.

[@maziahismail1392]

I visited Ephesus when I was in Turkey in dec 2018, however the tourist guide did not explained as clear as both of you did, I think the guidebook that you bought from the hotel was very very useful indeed, .. as always .. although your vlog only provided a brief explanation of the place you visited but it is enough to give us a clear picture of the historical background as well as to stimulate our mood and interest to go visit turkey and Ephesus again .. good job Joao and Christiana .. take care and stay safe always 💕🐈💕

[@Travelgramers]

Thank you so much, yeah the history of Ephesus is so long up until today we are still reading about it and discovering/learning more, with almost 3000 years of history is quite difficult to explain or mention everything in a short video (it would have been a documentary otherwise 😂) so we decided to just to give an insight of Ephesus and mention things we found interesting along the way 😁

[@littlenewthings2662]

Omg the city structure still existing! This is one of my dream to visit because of Book of Ephesians ❤️

[@Yasin_Affandi]

D ancient city, Ephesus, an incredible site of world heritage n history.

[@goosw6070]

Great explanation. Ephesus was mentioned in the Bible ( New Testament) many times... always wanted to visit..With your vlogs.. i can plan my Turkey travels.

[@chooitan]

It's so nice to see you guys in Turkey. I was there some years back and I rate it as one of the nicest countries I've visited. I'm jealous that you have all the sites almost to yourselves. When I was there (in spring) everywhere was quite crowded. And so nice you convert prices to MYR! Have fun and stay safe!

I have seen your Mardin video, and I have to say it was a wonderful idea to wander out of the typical tourist traps and sample the real culture on your own as that's the real country and the real people. Keep your videos coming, I find them really interesting. Cheers!

Visited Ephesus in Dec 2018. Breath taking sight to behold. Not sure if you spotted the carving of the Goddess Nike. That's where it inspired sports giant NIKE to have it's swoosh logo from...from the trailing soft robe of the goddess Nike carving. Another was the universal symbol of medicine, the spear and snake twisted around it. Followed a guide who was explaining to a group of tourists there. :)

[@nutzhazel]

The medicine symbol was of Roman God Hermes, if I'm not mistsken.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

It is a ruin now, but anyone can see how magnificent it was.

Only 15% excavations had been completed, another 85% remains buried, what a great city it was.

Amazing ancient architecture...without any technology or machinery. Without any info...That looks like it was built in the 80s. Really grand! Any other ancient civilization that is comparable?

[@nutzhazel]

I think the only rival to Roman/Greek civilization at that time was some empires in China. They said even Romans can't conquer that city. India also had some ancient civilization but their buildings and architecture are mostly dedicated for worship.

It's been debated till now that Ephesus is the home to The Seven Sleepers. If it true, i hope you guys could find the cave.

Never thought that Turkey has a lot of ancient building from roman and byzantine... I would like to suggest to you to go to Jordan next...another country that offer almost the same as Turkey has or maybe more...jordan has petra, jerash, dead sea, castles and a lot more

[@edizbulut3568]

Ephesus was made in ancient greek times though. They cannot find anything from ancient greeks in jordan.

When she joined us on the way to Ephesus I (Cristiana) was scared I’m afraid of dogs 😂 but then she was the sweetest dog ever, as we were visiting the places she would sit and wait for us the only place she didn’t like staying was the grand theatre she would start crying and heading to the exit in a way of calling us to go 😂 maybe because it was the coldest place and there was no sun shining there until the afternoon 🙃🙃🙃

How they know the building before and after🤔

[@Travelgramers]

Ephesus was mentioned in the bible (for example) and was also mentioned it in books and/or papyrus, Ephesus was well known and “talked” about back in the days. The archeologists studying Ephesus have a rough idea of what it used to look like by the fragments and ruins they find, even before Ephesus was re-discovered and excavated people already knew the existence of it by the evidence that had been found.

The ticket is only valid for 1 day. One day should be enough to cover Ephesus, we took our time around there, we were filming so that takes a bit of time too that’s probably why we spent a lot of time there 🙃🙃🙃 in the summer it opens earlier and closes later so give you more time to visit but there’s also crowds during the summer
