Ephesus continued - the Terrace Houses!
We made our way through the area that is dedicated to pedestrian traffic only. It was closed off to chariots! The first thing that you see is the facade of the Library of Celsus. What an amazing site this is! Today you see tourists walking through the cobblestone streets - but imagine how this was thousands of years ago? You can almost picture it! You can see on the left modern coverings on some buildings? Well this is the site of some current archaeological projects! The Terrace Houses! The highlight of Ephesus in my opinion. It's a small extra fee, but we absolutely went into the Terrace houses, except my dad, who was concerned that maybe there would be too many steps – I think he would have been fine. But the Terrace Houses are houses built into the hills that are currently being excavated. They call them the houses of the rich – there are six residences here. You can see the mosaics and the frescos – the colors are amazing!...
