Itinerary

Highlights The House of the Virgin Mary, The Ancient City of Ephesus, The Temple of Artemis We are setting off with our guide from the meeting point in Izmir in the morning. We start our tour from the house of the Virgin Mary, where it is believed that Mary, the mother of Jesus, spent the last years of her life here. Catholic pilgrims visit believing that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was brought to this stone house by the Apostle John and lived and died in this house until she was taken to heaven. Then we are on our way to the Ancient City of Ephesus, which is one of Unesco's World Heritage Sites. Dec. Ephesus, one of the most important port cities of the ancient world, is also mentioned in the books of Revelation as one of the seven churches. We visit the magnificent Celcus Library, the Temple of Hadrian, one of the best preserved and most beautiful buildings, the Odeon and the Trajan's Fountain. We are walking along the historical marble street to the Grand Theater where St. Paul preached. After our visit here is over, we are going to the restaurant to experience Turkish cuisine. After an exquisite dining experience belonging to Turkish culture, we visit the Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the Ancient World, which is the last stop of our tour. After our visit, we will return to our meeting point in Izmir. In addition, this tour also gives you the opportunity to learn about local crafts and products. Duration: 7/8 hours IMPORTANT NOTE: Guests need to be able to walk about 4 km on rough and paved stone surfaces. That's why we recommend that you wear comfortable shoes, take an umbrella, wear a hat, and don't forget your sunscreen due to the limited space for shade.
