During the 1C AD, Ephesus was the second-largest city on the planet after Rome with more than 250,000 citizens. It was in the centre of the known world and played the role of a gateway between the East and the West. With its giant harbour, it was also the centre of trading in antiquity. It was not only a rich commercial city but also the honeymoon place of Mark Anthony and Cleopatra. It is also home to one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, Temple of Artemis. Ephesus is also so well preserved that, walking on the ancient streets among the beautiful monuments such as the third largest library of the ancient world or the largest roman theatre on the Asia continent, gives you the feeling of a time traveller.
