Ephesus (Greek:Έφεσος) is the best-preserved classical city on the Mediterranean, and perhaps the best place in the world to get the feeling for what life was like in Roman times. As a strategic coastal gateway to the Eastern World, this Ionian refuge grew to be the second largest city in the Roman Empire, the site of a Christian shrine, and one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. If you can touch both sides of this archway along what would have been the city's "main street" it means you will have good luck in love.
