The Curetes Street in Ephesus
Walking along the Curetes Street in Ephesus.
MediMoments 2009: Ephesus, Turkey, Curetes Street
Walking down the Curetes Street towards the Trajan fountain. The street is line with the statues of famous Ephesians, built in the 1st century, that were originally placed in front of the stores on both sides of the street. During the period of the Roman Empire, the priests dealing both with religious and state affairs were called the curetes. Since the bases of the columns with the names of these priests inscribed on them were found at the beginning of this street, it was called the Curetes Street.

the Ancient city of Ephesus Turkey and an Ancient Wonder
For more great destinations and hotel tours like me at
When in Turkey you must definitely make a stop in Ephesus, one of the most amazing ancient cities of the world. You can get non stop flights from Amsterdam, London, Frankfurt as well as Istanbul. I flew from Istanbul with Turkish Airlines into Izmir, only an hour flight and if you purchase far enough in advance can get some great rates. I only paid around 48usd. I rented a car from Hertz with GPS, which is a must. We had a tight schedule and I didn't want to worry about getting lost. The GPS lead us right to the main entrance of Ephesus in just under an hour. Paid 10Lira for parking and 40Lira for entrance, (Aprox ttl 18USD)30 if you don't want to see the Terrace Houses, but they are worth seeing.
Their will be someone there with small horses and carts that will take you to the opposite entrance, then you would just walk one way, which would have been more convenient due to our time constraint, but I couldn't do that to the poor horses, so we passed.
Walk down Harbor street thru the necropolis, city of the dead, towards the ancient city.
Walk along marble street and view the amazing ancient theater, the Agora and then on to Ephesus' most beautiful structure, The Library of Celsus. This is the most photographed building in Ephesus. Then we will turn on Curetes street and you will see the latrines, Hadrian's temple, the Terrace Houses, Odeon and much much more.
After Ephesus, we drive a little further, to the Grotto of the 7 sleepers and then on to the House of Mary. When Jesus died he asked John to watch over Mary and it is believed that this is where the apostle John brought Mary to live out her last days.
On the way back down the mountain you will get an amazing view of the city of Selcuk, Selcuk Castle and St John's Bastilica, which is our next destination.
A charge of 10 Turkish Lira to enter the bastilica, which also gets you to the castle. It is believed that St John, one of Jesus' apostles, came here during his last years and this is where he was buried. A small chapel was built over his grave, which later was expanded into the beautiful bastilica.
a few minutes drive away, you will come to one of the Ancient 7 wonders of the world, The Temple of Artemis. It is only a pile of rubble now, but from what historians say was once a sight to behold.
first destroyed by a flood, then rebuilt into the one that became the ancient wonder, it was destroyed Herostatus set it on fire, hoping to become famous at any cost. this happened to occur on the date of Alexander the Greats birth. It was believed that Artemis was preoccupied with his birthing to save her temple. Later, Alexander came to Ephesus and offered to rebuild as long as they attached his name to it, but the city refused. It was finally rebuilt after Alexanders death and this temple lasted for 600 years before being destroyed by the Goths.

曾是亚洲第一和最大的大都会，现在残垣断壁仍掩饰不住曾经的辉煌
离开切什梅我们驱车来到了位于塞尔丘克（Selcuk）的以弗所（Ephesus），以弗所是目前世上保存的最好也最大的古罗马城市遗址，至今已有3千多年历史。
以弗所早在公元前6000多年的新石器时代就已有人类居住的痕迹。在公元前10世纪古希腊人在这里建立了这座城镇，也是雅典殖民者建立的最重要城市之一，到公元前129年，以弗所就成为亚细亚省的省会。
以弗所曾是古罗马帝国在亚洲的一个重要省份，面积超过800多公顷，人口已达二十五万。从亚历山大大帝开始这座城市进入了黄金时期。被誉为“亚洲第一个和最大的大都会”。
在古罗马时期的很长一段时间内，以弗所都是罗马帝国中仅次于罗马的第二大城市。直至15世纪开始衰落，再也回不到昔日的辉煌了。
以弗所也是基督教的圣地。基督教的重要人物如圣约翰、圣保罗、圣母玛丽亚均在以弗所度过晚年，其中圣约翰更是在这座古城中去世的。
以弗所遗址内有很多值得去关注的恢宏建筑，将在这里和稍后的文章中逐步介绍。这是哈德良神庙，它是以当时的罗马皇帝的名字命名的，它是典型柯林斯式神庙的代表，也是以弗所最引人入胜的精美建筑之一。
哈德良神庙正面中央是一块精致的拱心石。拱圈的拱心石上是城市的命运女神堤刻（Tyche），第二座拱门上是蛇发女妖美杜莎女神的半身像，传说看到她的眼睛就会变成石头，以吓阻邪灵。 内墙的廊柱上还遗留着不同神话人物的雕刻。
这个被石柱和塑像包围的图拉真喷泉，它修建于公元102-104年，至今仍保留着基本的建筑框架，它是以佛所古城内最精美的建筑之一，那三角形拱门在残垣断壁中很容易辨识。
这座喷泉为了供奉古代罗马皇帝图拉真而建造，在它周围出土的雕像目前都保存在以弗所博物馆内。以弗所这曾经的港口，水资源十分丰富，由于地质变迁现在已经远离海岸，只能在遗址中想象当年潺潺流水的景象，无情的岁月，改变了这一切。
图密善神庙遗址，现在只剩二层建筑的石柱。据资料记载以前是一座长50米宽100米的大型建筑，在图密善皇帝被家臣刺杀后，神庙被毁。里面高达7米的图密善雕像，现在收藏于以费所考古博物馆。
图密善神庙遗址不远处是莫莫密乌斯纪念碑。它是罗马皇帝苏拉的孙子为纪念祖父打败希腊人入侵而立的一座纪念碑。
在莫莫密乌斯纪念碑对面是胜利女神像，据说也是NIKE标志的起源。
古罗马的这一雕刻，也成了现今世界卫生组织的一个著名标志。
克里斯特街(Curetes Street)曾经是以弗所古城最大的一条街道，两旁集中了许多遗迹。在这里你可以体会到以前富人们的居所和依然保留着部分色彩鲜艳的马赛克图案的人行道。
以弗所是土耳其最有观光价值的古城遗址，我们驱车到达以弗所时从这里的大型停车场中停满了各种旅行轿车就能看出这里很受欢迎。需要提醒的是，以弗所古城有两个门，一个是高处的门，一个是低处的门，小巴车都是到低处的门，高处的门只有出租车，如果不是自驾也不想太累，可以打车到高处的门，从上往下玩，在低处的门坐小巴车回塞尔丘克。
门口的售票处和出入口也是人头攒动，这样的场景也就是在伊斯坦布尔的几个景点能看到，在土耳其的其他旅游点都很少出现这样的场景。

Ephesos, Turkey
Video with images of Ephesos an ancient commercial city at the Mediterranean coast of classical Asia Minor. In the period of the Roman empire the prosperous city attained its present form as an adminstrative and intellectual centre.
In the southeast of Ephesos was an odeon at a public agora with colonnade. The odeon was a also a bouleuterion for public meetings of the city council. At the west end of the public agora was a temple built for the emperor Domitian. At the entrance of the square leading to the temple was a nymphaeum with statues, reliefs and inscriptions. The Memmius monument nearby was built by a grandson of the emperor Sulla in memory of his family.
Passing the Hercules gate one desends Curetes street which was paved with marble stone slabs. At the right side of the street was a nymphaeum of the emperor Trajan. Further down the street was a temple of the emperor Hadrian which was restored in the fourth century AD. Some of the reliefs in the upper section depicted the imperial family of emperor Theodosius. Behind the temple was a public bath house with latrines.
Down at the end of Curetes Street was the library of Celsus a former governor of Asia Minor. The library had two stories with columns, statues and friezes. To the north of the Celsus library was a colonnaded street which led to the harbour. Right in front of the street was a theatre for shows of actors and gladiators.
Walking through 3,000-year-old Ruins of Ephesus, Turkey
We're going back to Turkey on this #ThrowbackThursday! Here's a little video of Steve and my time in Ephesus! This place was built in the 10th century BC! Alexander the Great lived here briefly. Paul, the apostle, yes from the bible, built one of his first congregations here. And, at it's peak, it was home to about 56,000 people. Sculptors, poets, historians, politicians all lived out their lives on these marble streets! There was no internet, no cell phones, no GoPros, no social media! What would you have done with your time 3,000 years ago?
Commercial Agora in Ephesus Tours by Felicia Travel
It is in the form of a square, each side 110 meters, and surrounded completely by columns. The Agora has 3 gates, one from the front of the theatre on the northeast, the other one opening to the harbor on the west and the third one from the Celsius Library. The north side of the Agora is left open, and the other three sides are surrounded by a portico, in which there are rows of shops. Being the most important trade center of Ephesus, Agora was built in the third century B.C in the Hellenistic Period, but the ruins date from the reign of Caracalla (211-217 C.E). It is quite possible that Paul worked here with Priscilla and Aquila in their tent-making business.
