Ephesus is a well-preserved classical city in the eastern Mediterranean and a great place to experience and feel life in Roman times. As the capital of the Roman Empire in Asia (the province of Asia) at that time, it is known as "the first and largest metropolis in Asia". The world says it is not Rome, but better than Rome. This beautiful city has always been one of the favorite places for tourists to visit Turkey. The vast ruins of the ancient city have been preserved for more than 2,000 years and are now one of the monuments listed by UNESCO. The current ruins of the ancient city of Ephesus are in a northwest-southeast direction, with a total length of about two kilometers. The main remaining buildings include: stone pillar corridor, statue of Artemis, altar of Roman emperor Domitian, and frescoes of ancient Greek philosopher Socrates , Reliefs of Theodosius, the leader of the Monophysite School, Temple of Emperor Hadrian, St. John's Church, Library, Theater, Bathroom, etc.

Absolutely stunning ancient Roman capital near Selcuk in Turkey. It's actually walking distance from town. My recommendation is to go in winter where there are almost no tourists and you can practically have the place to yourself.
