Visit the remarkable ancient street that lies between the Harbour Baths and the great theatre. Traders and sailors who used to arrive into the city of Ephesus from the port, would first arrive on this street. That’s why, the street was ornamented with beautiful marble slabs and colonnades to make the street look impressive for the visitors. The street is around 530 meters long and 11 meters wide, built during Hellenistic period. It was again renovated during the rule of Emperor Arcadius and from here; the street received its name. Both the sides of the street were filled with shops, galleries and decorated gates shaped like monumental arches. For this reason, it was the only illuminated street during that period. You can still see some of the structures of street lights remaining till date.
