Straits were a strategic crossing point

*Ephesus is one of the best preserved
cities from Roman times. At the time St.
Paul lived in Ephesus in the 60-lsquo;s
AD, it was at it-rsquo;s Roman heyday
with a population around 250,000. When
St. Paul lived in Ephesus he would have
addressed the Ephesians in the great
theatre, that today impresses everyone
that walks into it-rescue's stands.
Ephesus was a great ancient city and
much of it has been preserved for you to
see. More than any other site, you can
walk the streets, stand in the great
theatre, wander in the library, look
towards the hill where St. Paul was put
into prison, and feel that you are
walking back into the time that St. Paul
lived. After being here, you will read
the book of Ephesians with new eyes.

St. John in the last years of her life.

rich mineral water flowed over the

heritage site.
