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?

DD了个YThe Great Theater of Ephesus in the Ancient City of Ephesus
Located at the end of the Arcadia Street in the ancient city of Ephesus, it is one of the landmark buildings of the ancient city of Ephesus
The Great Theater was built in the 3rd century BC in the ancient Greek era and was expanded during the Roman Empire. It was once used as a place for performing dramas and gladiatorial combats. It was also the main venue for Ephesus's festivals, gatherings and large-scale performances
The entire theater is built along the hillside with a semi-circular shape, with the performance stage as the center. It perfectly combines the architectural styles of the ancient Greek and ancient Roman theaters
The Great Theater has 66 rows of seats, a diameter of an astonishing 154 meters, a height of 38 meters, and can accommodate up to 25,000 people. It is even larger than the amphitheater in the Acropolis of Athens. To be honest, even today, it is still a large-scale theater. It can be seen how magnificent it was in that era
In addition to its grand scale, the theater's audio-visual design is also amazing. Starting from the stage, each row of seats is more inclined and steeper than the previous row. The echo is used so that the audience on the upper periphery can also clearly hear the performance in the center of the stage It's amazing
