The gymnasium and synagogue are striking, yet the site's deeper interest is its sequence of Lydian, Persian, Greek and Roman phases. Treat the excavated structures as part of a city rather than an isolated ruin. Salihli is a separate travel base from Ephesus, so give the visit its own route planning.
