In addition, the nearby ancient city of Ephesus offers a fascinating insight into the splendour of the Roman Empire, with its famous Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, and the Temple of Artemis, once counted among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. In Güzelçamlı, you can soak up the local culture at the lively weekly market, where you can try fresh produce, handmade crafts, and traditional Turkish treats.
