arcadian way

挺漂亮的大道的，现在还能看出当时人来人往车水马龙的景象。道路两边都是各种主要的公共设施以及商店和娱乐场所，感觉得到千年前的人们生活也没有那么乏味。现在两边大部分都是残垣断壁了。

After seeing the big sites of the Library and Theatre, the Arcadian Way leads to the exit. Not only is the actual street or way impressive, but there are numerous remnants of columns, buildings and carved stones all over the side just waiting to explore. There are no restrictions to access the side of the street and feels like you are away from the crowds as lots of room to go on your own.

This street is situated between the Harbour Baths and the Great Theater. It is designed with gorgeous marble slabs and colonnades. The street is about half a kilometer long and 10 meters wide, and on both sides of the street there were shops and galleries, and gates in the form of monumental arches. You do not have to try hard to imagine how busy it would have been with the merchants in times long ago.

Imagining the ancient merchants and consumers walking down this way towards the harbour to check out arriving ships with new wares and things to sell was just indescribable! There were not enough adjectives to describe this magnificent place!

The Arcadian Way is the main street that can be reached after visiting the Library which stretched from the city's harbor to the Ephesus Theatre. Just imagine much like the other main street of Ephesus the thousands of people that would travel along this street... all the way from the children to the merchants bringing in goods to be sold from the port.

This marble paved road is 11 metres wide and runs above the main sewer from the city to the sea - another example of sophisticated Roman town planning!Walking along the road it is easy to imagine yourself back in ancient times in the company of emperors and nobility, kings and queens, as well as the common man and woman. How impressed they must have been at the sight of the city rising up before them!

Although the lower half is sectioned off, it's still possible to get a glimpse of what life might have been coming to Ephesus from the sea. Some Columns and staturary remain yet the sea has moved from silting.

But was closed off when we were there. Very long and pretty walk to what I think would have been the harbor.

The Arcadian Way is part of the enormous open air Archaeological Museum in Ephesus. It is one of the most incredible excavations I've ever seen and I've been to Istanbul, Athens, and other areas of great excavations. Take an organized tour where the guides can describe where Mark Anthony and Cleopatra once rode in procession. The excavation and restoration of the area is so complete that you can easily imagine the people that lived here and what their life was like. It is truly of biblical proportion!

Its said that Marc Anthony and Cleopatra once walked this way.....I wonder what they were thinking.......August's is coming!.......but we're in November!!

Take a walk down the Acadian Way and imagine being surrounded by dozens of people all of which are on their way to the water's edge. Kind of fun to do and another of those places to add to your bucket list".

When you look at the Arcadian way in Efesos, be it from the magnificent view of the arena or from ground level, history is looking back at you. The amount of people who have walked these streets is impressive. Also the amount of famous people walking there is equally impressive. Both Mark Anthony and Cleopatra walked here, as did some of Jeses deciples and likely hos mother too. So, when you walk here, don't rush around, but sit down and contemplete on the fact that you are, truly, walking on historic ground. Also look at the road and imagine that it lead to the harbour 2 000 years ago. And now the oceans is 10 km away, all nature's work. Anywa, to conclude, don't be stressed by all the visitors, find your own corner, there are loads, and take a short break!If you are disabled, take the bottom entrance. You can get all the way to the Celsus library.

We took a seat in the theater, and on our way out, we had a great view of the Acadian Way. We could picture the people parading toward the theatre. Am impressive sight - not to be missed.

This beautiful path with the columns on each side was the way to the harbour or the way from the harbour to the Great Theatre! It must have been stunning in its day, just imagine. This part was near the end of our amazing journey of Ephesus. You must not miss this place.

In some ways I prefer the Arcadian way to Curetes Street, at the entrance to the city. The best place from which to admire the Arcadian way is from the top of the huge amphitheatre of Ephesus. The panormaic views from there of the ancient Arcadian road & countryside beyond, are beautiful & tranquil.
