I have visited three of the sites.
At Bodrum (Turkey), the site of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, it looked a lot like a building site! It has been excavated, and a small reconsruction made. Parts of the original stonework was used to build Bodrum castle, and can be seen embeded in the walls.
At Ephesus, a few columns of the temple of Artemis have been re-erected.
Nothing remains of the Colossus of Rhodes and the supposed site on the harbour, marked by monuments, is now believed to be incorrect.
