Maximum 15 people in each group.
The tour starts between 8:15 am and 9:15 am from Kusadasi town. We'll drive to Selcuk town to begin a full-day Ephesus tour, starting with a visit to the Virgin Mary’s House. Your tour guide will provide detailed information about the Virgin Mary’s House, where it is believed that the Virgin Mary spent her last years with St. John until her Assumption. The house is a pilgrimage site for Christians and has been visited by numerous popes over time. Virgin Mary’s House exudes remarkable energy and is an ideal place to offer prayers and make wishes.
We will then proceed to the Ancient City of Ephesus, one of the most magnificent excavations in the world. Explore numerous historical artifacts such as the Odeon, The Fountain of Trajan, The Terraces of Apartment Houses, The stream baths of Scholastika, The Temple of Hadrian, and the impressive Celsus Library adorned with columns and statues. Don't miss the magnificent Grand Theater, where Saint Paul preached; it is, in fact, the largest theater in antiquity with a capacity of 24,000 seats.
Our next stop will be The Temple of Artemis (Diana). Completed 550 years before Christ, this temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis was once considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Today, only the ruins of the Temple of Artemis remain. Our final stop will be the Mosque of Isa Bey, built in the 14th century and also used as a caravanserai. It is a perfect architectural gem that you must see.
When the tour concludes, your Ephesus Tour guide will return you to your pickup point. You have the option to choose a Regular or Private Ephesus Tour, where your Ephesus Tour guide can pick you up at your convenience.
