The most famous is the beautifully preserved Roman city of Ephesus, once the home to around 250,000 people. The Greek city of Prienne, the Temple of Apollo at Didyma and the ancient port of Miletus are also well worth seeing. When you want a break from culture, take an Aegean cruise or go on a jeep safari. Shopping is another of the resort's great pleasures. From fake designer labels to gold, leather and carpets, the choice is wide and prices are considerably lower than in the UK. As night falls, the town comes alive with an array of nightspots and discos. You can choose from traditional "lokanta"s to familiar English and Irish themed pubs. Many bars have live music and stay open late. Popular night clubs spots include Bar Street and the "Kale ici" areas of the town centre.

The second way to get around in town is by taxi. Taxis are most useful especially late at night where the meter runs double. Most of the destinations within town are close (mostly 5 minutes range) so the taxi meters do not hurt that much.

The third way to get around in town is by foot. Most of the town is relatively flat and the scenery is nice. To walk from one end of town to another takes 30 minutes.
