You will also visit the terrace houses which are located on the
slopes of Bulbul Mountain, opposite the Hadrian Temple. Also
called "the houses of rich," they were built for the important
and wealthy people of Ephesus, as only rich people could afford
such houses. The terrace houses are a Museum inside Ephesus with
great engraving, mosaics, sections, floors, representing the
life style of the rich Ephesians. The most ancient of the houses
were built in the first century BC, and most of the houses were
restored in the second century AD. The houses seemed plain from
outside, but inside they were constructed with the highest
standards for their day. They were decorated with mosaics and
frescoes, and they had interior courtyards in the center, with
open ceiling. To give you an idea about the quality of life in
Ephesus, the houses also had cold and hot water.

surfaces and cobblestones and can be slippery when wet.
