Ephesus Terrace Houses
Discover how affluent Roman citizens lived 2,000 years ago at Ephesus Terrace Houses. These luxurious houses have been restored to such a degree that it seems as if someone is still living there. The upscale residences were mostly two storeys and featured interior central courtyards with ceiling openings. Their interiors showcase detailed floor mosaics, frescoes, carvings, and stonework of fine craftsmanship. You may be able to observe archaeologists working on site while you climb the stairs of the scaffolding to view the homes of all six units from above. The houses that are fully restored to their original appearance can be explored from inside by paying an extra fee.

I am so glad we paid more for this. I love walking up steps to view the different mosaics and rooms. It reminded me of Pompeii.

I went as part of a cruise shore excursion. Our guide was great and seeing the terrace house ruins with some of their floor mosaics in good conditions and same with the frescoes was really neat. Definitely worth going to it.

A must visit if in the area. Make sure you purchase the ticket to visit the Terrace Houses exhibit. The price for both Ephesus and the terrace house was 160TL each. We spent a total of 30 minutes looking around and taking lots of pictures. The Terrace house are a small glimpse to the past. There are no toilets inside the site, so you need to go before you entering the park. 3btraveler

A must go!! The 15 day museum pass can give you free entrance. Extremely well preserved mosaic and a great example of Roman-period bath.

One of the best pieces remained from ancient era , preserved like this. Terrace Houses / Yamac Evleri is under a giant umbrella like steel construction. It is priced separately as 35 TL as entrance fee. You really should have to pay this price since it will change your illusion how the daily life in those era. Every detail in a ancient settlement is so living, from souls to mosaics and from bath ceiling to color painted walls. Must visit!!!!

It is definitely worth paying the extra admission fee for Terrace Houses. You will see perfectly preserved Floor Mosaics, Wall Paintings and actual Roman Houses intact.
