This is how Ancient Greece really looked like.

This is a reconstruction of Curetes Street in Ancient Ephesus. It shows how colorful Ancient Greece was.

Ephesus, was built in the 10th century BCE on the coast of Ionia. This is one of the greatest archaeological treasures on earth, with the entire city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The magnificent ancient ruins are now found in modern day Turkey.
