【Turkey 🇹🇷 Ephesus】A Greek theatre that was first built more than 2000years ago... being there felt amazing. . Ephesus was the capital of the Roman Empire in Asia Minor, the fourth largest city in the empire after Rome with 250,000+ inhabitants - not to mention there are constant influx of merchants and pilgrims im town. . After more than 150years of excavation, only 20% of this glorious metropolis has been unearthed. But exploring this 20%/ 4km long site will already take you hours. . I entered from the Lower Gate of Ephesus, which is where the bus from Selçuk will take you to. Get in and the first monument you see will be this GREAT THEATRE, which is able to hold 25,000 spectators. Since it was built by Hellenistic King Lysimachus in around 300BC (2300years ago) then remodeled by Romans, it’s way older than the world’s oldest amphitheater in Pompeii (which was built in 70BC). . Spending time in ancient ruins feels like being teleported to the past. . . . . . . . #asia #turkey #discoverturkey #turkey🇹🇷 #travelturkey #izmir #selcuk #ephesus #unesco . #theglobewanderer #globetrotter #igtravels #hktraveler #周圍移 #wanderxwonder #yololttw #roamingwomen #travellingthroughtheworld #travelgram #suitcasetravels #CLpicks #TLpicks #sheisnotlost #letsgosomewhere
