Library of Celsus, Ephesus

Beach days next door to an ancient city.

Kuşadası is a busy Aegean resort and cruise port — and the best base for Ephesus, one of the largest and best-preserved ancient cities in the Mediterranean and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Walk its marble streets to the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre, then visit the hillside village of Şirince for wine and lunch.
