somewhat small remnant (some archeologic expert thinks (while digging around) most likely were part of the Temple. Much of the original temple (those parts that were eventually quarried for other building parts) was initially torn down by the Goth invaders in 263 and hit again in 614 by a devastating earthquake. Our group only looked at it from a distance (as the guide talked), but Tom got closer look for a picture. now just a few stones on top of one another and not too much of wonder of the ancient world to view. Other than saying you were there (and felt the vibrations of Artemis – HA HA), this is Not a place to visit if you have other priority plans.

Probably worth going to being one of the ancient wonders of the world, but it’s very disappointing not very well maintained with no security presence. When I was there kids climbing over ruins, it’s free to enter and only a short distance from city centre. I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit if short on time, you only need like 20 minutes to visit site.

Title says it all really. Had read that the ruins were extremely sparse but with it being one of the Seven Wonders of the World I felt compelled to visit. That said it was still very disappointing... it's not even really promoted as a tourist destination... there's zero facilities apart from a hawker selling overpriced books and an old man selling wooden flutes! It's one of those things it's vastly better to say you've done than the actual doing. Whilst very little remains of the temple it does have a nice view of the basilica ruins, the castle, and the old mosque at Selcuk.
