Interesting, Historic, but also Overpriced, Hot, and Crowded
艾菲斯古城的点评
点评:The archaeological ruins at Ephesus Turkey are indeed impressive and even awe-inspiring. The terrace houses and the Ephesus Experience Museum presentation were both interesting and well worth checking out.
So why only three stars? We got to Ephesus early morning, in mid spring. It was already warm but still pleasant. Not at all crowded; more cats than people. But an hour later, everything had changed; it was now oppressively hot in an open stone area with little shade. Ephesus was awash with tourists, some in small groups, and some with larger organized tours. Everyone jostling for the perfect photo or selfie.
Additionally, the famous amphitheatre was closed for archeaological restoration, while much of the rest of Ephesus was closed to the public as well, for unknown reasons. This resulted in the the experience being limited to one main thoroughfare and a few short offshoots, limiting exploration.
We were fortunate enough to be using the Museum Pass, but if not, entry to Ephesus is 40 Euros, with entry to the terrace houses another 15 Euros. With the heat, the crowds, and the closure of so much of the city to visitors, I found the visit to be interesting, but not always enjoyable.
翻译:土耳其以弗所的考古遗址确实令人印象深刻,甚至令人叹为观止。阶梯式房屋和以弗所体验博物馆的展示都非常有趣,值得一看。
那么,为什么只给三星呢?我们在仲春时节清晨抵达以弗所。当时天气已经很暖和了,但依然宜人。人也不多,猫比人还多。然而一个小时后,一切都变了;在几乎没有遮荫的开阔石地上,酷热难耐。以弗所挤满了游客,有的三五成群,有的则参加了大型旅行团。每个人都在争相寻找完美的拍照或自拍角度。
此外,著名的圆形剧场正在进行考古修复,而以弗所的大部分其他区域也因不明原因不对公众开放。这导致游览范围仅限于一条主干道和几条岔路,探索空间十分有限。
我们很幸运地使用了博物馆通票,但如果没有通票,以弗所的门票是40欧元,参观露台屋还需要额外支付15欧元。由于天气炎热、人潮拥挤,而且城内很多地方都禁止游客参观,我觉得这次游览虽然有趣,但并非全程都令人愉快。
