Your guide will greet you in Kusadasi or Selcuk (at your accommodation or port pier); a brief journey brings us to the House of Virgin Mary. Christian lore tells that post Christ’s Resurrection, the Apostle John took Mary to Ephesus, where she spent her final years. A church now stands on the location of that house.
Subsequently, a 10-minute drive will take us to the historic city of Ephesus, the most comprehensive open-air museum in Turkey and the best-preserved classical city in the Eastern Mediterranean. Figures of history such as Cleopatra, Mark Antony, Virgin Mary, and John the Apostle have trodden its streets. As you tread through the timeline of this pivotal city, your guide will illustrate life during ancient Rome. Next on the itinerary is the Temple of Artemis, included among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This tour also includes optional visits to the Basilica of St. John and the Ephesus indoor Museum where you can view statues and fragments unearthed in Ephesus.
