Night Museum Experience in Ephesus

The “Night Museum Experience” has been introduced to Ephesus. As part of this initiative, Ephesus Archaeological Site has been illuminated, allowing both local and foreign tourists to explore it after sunset.

Illuminating Ephesus

The streets of Ephesus were brightly lit with oil lamps at night during the night time, a luxury that not many ancient cities could afford.

Ephesus, which was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2015, now welcomes visitors during the evening hours as well. Thanks to the upgraded lighting system, visitors can immerse themselves in the 2,300-year-old history of Ephesus even after dusk. Newly added lights made it safe to walk around Ephesus during the nighttime, and also it is easy to take photos during the night tours in Ephesus.
