点评:The Terrace Houses of Ephesus, constructed between the 1st and 3rd century AD/CE, are one of the most noteworthy features of the Ephesus archaeological site. This complex of lavish residential villas was populated by citizens belonging to the city's upper class. The houses contain graffiti of gladiators, animals and other subjects, and there are also some beautiful mosaics.
While exploring the houses you will come across complex heating systems, indoor plumbing and private baths, all of which indicate the technological prowess of Roman society and the luxury that rich citizens could afford under Roman rule.
A total of seven housing units can be explored here and you'll have to go up several staircases in order to enjoy the whole site. It's worth noting that you'll have to pay an additional fee of €15 to enter as the houses are not included in the Ephesus archaeological site ticket. Therefore, if you're keen on exploring this site, I suggest you get the Aegean e-pass, which is rather expensive at €95, but it will grant you access once to Ephesus itself, the houses, Ephesus Museum, and the Basilica of St John. The combined ticket for these four attractions is €65, so if you're able to visit a few more heritage sites in the region during a seven day period (how long the pass is valid for), you could make significant savings.

在探索这些房屋时,您会发现复杂的供暖系统、室内管道和私人浴室,所有这些都展现了罗马社会的科技水平以及罗马统治下富裕公民所能享受的奢华生活。
这里共有七个住宅单元可供探索,您需要攀登几级楼梯才能欣赏到整个遗址。值得注意的是,由于房屋不包含在以弗所考古遗址门票内,您需要额外支付15欧元才能进入。因此,如果您热衷于探索这个地方,我建议您购买爱琴海电子通票,价格不菲,为95欧元,但您可以凭此票一次参观以弗所古城本身、古宅、以弗所博物馆和圣约翰大教堂。这四个景点的联票价格为65欧元,所以如果您能在七天(通票有效期)内参观该地区的更多遗址,就能省下不少钱。
