Where Should I go: Ephesus or Gujarat?

Ephesus

The ancient city of Ephesus was famed for the Temple of Artemis (completed around 550 BC). It is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The temple was destroyed in 401 AD and rebuilt by Emperor Constantine I along with new public baths. The town was again partially destroyed by an earthquake in 614 AD. The city's importance as a commercial center declined as the harbor was slowly silted up by the Cayster River (Kucuk Menderes).

Gujarat

Gujarat is a state in the western region of India characterized by its varied terrain from flatlands to sacred hilltops as well as a number of important cultural sites. It is a region significant to the history of the spiritual leader Mahatma Ghandi and has many urban centers and villages which display the area's thriving culture.
