The Arcadian Way: The Grand Entrance to Ephesus

The Arcadian Way, also known as Harbor Street, was the grandest boulevard in Ephesus, stretching from the Great Theater to the city’s ancient port. Lined with marble columns and shops, it was the first street in the world to be lit at night. This 500-meter-long road welcomed emperors and visiting dignitaries with unparalleled splendor.
