Ephesus was an ancient Greek city on the west coast of Anatolia (Modern Turkey), on the Ionian coast,  and later an important Roman city. The foundation of the city dates back to the Neolithic 6000 BC. The city was colonized in the 10th century BC by Greek Ionian settlers. Ephesus is famous for the nearby Temple of Artemis, one of the ancient seven wonders of the world.  Among the must see sites: the Celsus Library and the Grand theater that can hold 25,000 spectators. Ephesus was one of the seven churches of Asia Minor mentioned in Revelation. The Gospel of John may have been written in Ephesus.
