During next year’s tourism season, visiting hours of museums and historical sites have been expanded in line with the new decisions taken by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. In this context, the Ancient City of Ephesus will now be open to visitors until midnight, and Aspendos, Patara, Side and Hierapolis will be open to visitors until 23.00 in the evening.
Private Meal Organization Discussion for American Tourists
The incident that took place in the Ancient City of Ephesus last night caused great controversy. It was revealed that a special dinner organization was organized at the Celsus Library for the tourists of the American Wind Star Cruise Ship.
Faced with the reaction of Turkish visitors, the organization team quickly cleared the tables and turned off the lights of the library. After the tourists left the area, the tension ended.
No Statement Has Been Made Yet from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has not yet made a statement regarding the incident, which caused great repercussions on social media. It is known that special events have been held at regular intervals since 2017 and the Celsus Library may be closed to visitors for short periods of time for such events.
