    Ephesus Museum

    The Ephesus Museum in Selcuk displays artifacts from various periods of history, including the Mycenaean, Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman eras. Instead of a chronological order, the collections are arranged thematically in dedicated halls and in the museum garden. Visitors can explore rooms devoted to the terrace houses of Ephesus, nymphaeums, ancient coins, the cult of Kybele, the Artemision, and the impressive statues of Artemis Ephesia. Other sections highlight stone artifacts, the Imperial Cult, and the fascinating story of Ephesus through the ages, making the museum an essential complement to a tour of the ancient city.

    Step into a traditional Turkish Bath in Kusadasi and enjoy a full-body relaxation journey. Start with a few minutes in the warm sauna to soften your skin. Then, lie on the heated marble as a Hammam master scrubs your skin with a bath glove (kese), removing dead skin and leaving your body refreshed. After the scrub, enjoy a foam massage, where soft bubbles cover your body, cleansing and relaxing every muscle. By the end, you’ll feel completely refreshed, relaxed, and renewed—like a brand-new you.
