Efes'ten Mimas'a Giden Yol Fotoğraf Sergisi

About this event

Efes'ten Mimas'a Giden Yol I: Meryem Ana'dan Kolophon'a is a photography exhibition by Ertuğrul Tugay that opens at 18:00 on 26 November 2026 in the ground-floor east and west galleries of the Ahmed Adnan Saygun Arts Centre and runs until 31 December 2026. Admission is free. The photographs were taken along the 11 walking routes of the first 133 kilometre stage of the Efes-Mimas Culture Route. Starting at the House of the Virgin Mary, the route passes Ephesus, Şirince, Belevi, Keçi Kalesi, the Küçük Menderes basin, Claros, Notion and Kolophon, linking ancient cities, historic buildings, sacred sites and old road traces with the landscape. The pictures show Lake Belevi, the Küçük Menderes plain and delta, olive groves, vineyards, fig, pomegranate, tangerine and peach orchards, pine forests and village life, as well as mountains such as Nif Dağı, Mahmut Dağı and Bozdağlar seen from around Keçi Kalesi. The exhibition also highlights the work of volunteer mountaineers who researched the route and made it walkable. It is organised by the culture and arts branch of İzmir Metropolitan Municipality, which presents it as a way to raise awareness of the historical, cultural and natural heritage of the İzmir peninsula.
