The natural beauty of this ancient landscape is a blend of golden sun, clear, crystal blue water and deep, soothing green, set against a backdrop of baked orange earth that has sheltered civilization for over 8,000 years.
Nestled among fragrant pines and spreading olive trees in the wooded hills overlooking the Port of Kuşadası, the Ephesus Convention Center commands expansive views of the shimmering Aegean, stretching far to the horizon where the turquoise sea meets the blue sky.
This ancient landscape with its beaches and secluded coves, its pine forests and riverbeds, and rough terrain dotted with rocky outcroppings where hardy wild agave plants stand as tall as a grown person, is blessed with over 300 sunny days every year.
The same golden Aegean sun that bathes the artifacts of bygone civilizations in awarm light nurtures these rugged hills and fertile valleys that are home to the region’s famed vineyards. Nearby Urla produces wines that have earned praise from the world’s leading wine expert, Robert Parker, who rated them ‘‘outstanding’’.
Also close by is the traditional Aegeanvillage of Şirince where, in addition to the usual red and white wines, they also make apple, apricot, blackberry, blueberry, creamberry, mulberry, peach, quince, sour Morello cherry and strawberry wines.
The Ephesus Convention Center itself is in a setting of great beauty, in the cleft of two wooded hills facing the Aegean, and the grounds of this world-class, purpose-built facility cover 50,000 square meters (538,195 sq. ft.) of developed land that is impeccably landscaped, offering you the option of planning a variety of al fresco events and evenoutdoor exhibitions, combined with an equally expansive 43,000 square meters (462,680 sq. ft.) of usable indoor space.
