Ephesus Mediterranean Cruise Packages

On a Mediterranean Cruise from Destination Oceans see the ancient Ionian ruins of Ephesus. The city was located in Ionia, where the Cayster River flows into the Aegean Sea. It was part of the Panionian League. The ruins are a favorite international and local tourist attraction, partly owing to their easy accessibility from Adnan Menderes Airport and via the port of Kusadasi. Ephesus hosted one of the seven churches of Asia, addressed in the Book of Revelation of The Bible. It is also the site of a large gladiator graveyard.

The archaeological site is large. In fact, Ephesus contains the largest collection of Roman ruins East of the Mediterranean. Only an estimated 15% has been excavated. The ruins that are visible give some idea of the city's original splendor, and the names associated with the ruins are evocative of its former life. The theater dominates the view down Harbour Street which leads to the long silted-up harbor. Other sites include The Library of Celsus, St. John's Basilica, and the Temple of Artemis.
