UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Turkey: Ephesus is one of the best-preserved ancient Ionian cities in the world, dates back to 12 C BC. The City was an important trade and religious center in antiquity.

Located within what was once the estuary of the River Kaystros, Ephesus comprises successive Hellenistic and Roman settlements founded on new locations, which followed the coastline as it retreated westward. Excavations have revealed grand monuments of the Roman Imperial period including the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre. Little remains of the famous Temple of Artemis, one of the "Seven Wonders of the World", which drew pilgrims from all around the Mediterranean. Since the 5th century, the House of the Virgin Mary, a domed cruciform chapel seven kilometres from Ephesus, became a major place of Christian pilgrimage. The Ancient City of Ephesus is an outstanding example of a Roman port city, with sea channel and harbour basin.

Aşıklıhöyük-Aşıklı Höyük is an incredible archaeological site with many groundbreaking finds where you can both witness and experience the lives of pre-historic people. It was first settled in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic period, around 8,200 BC. Aşıklı Höyük is the first known village in Central Anatolia where a hunter-gatherer society settled down and created a farming community. These people created amazing adobe (mud-brick) homes which they used for generations. Today, you can see both the excavations of these dwellings as well as replicas of these structures rebuilt for visitors to explore. In addition to the amazing Neolithic architecture, the site also offers some incredible finds. The first known brain surgery in history was discovered here. In addition, the people of Aşıklı Höyük used astounding craftsmanship on the obsidian mined from the area that archaeologists still can’t explain today. A definite must-see the next time you’re in the Aksaray-Cappadocia region!
