- Ancient City of Ephesus - Guests will be greeted by their tour guide and private driver. The Ephesus tour begins at the upper gate and concludes at the lower gate of the Ancient Ephesus City. Visitors will enjoy a comprehensive tour of this historic site, featuring Domitian’s, Trajan’s, and Hadrian’s Temples, the expansive Roman bath, Harbour Street, Marble Street, the Gates of Mihridates and Mazues, Commercial Agora, Latrina, the Scolastica Baths, Curetes Street, Polio Fountain, Memnius’ Monument, the Prytaneion, Odeon, the State Agora, the Celsus Library, and Turkey’s largest amphitheater.
- The Temple of Artemis - Following the Ephesus Ancient City tour, guests will drive to explore the ruins of the Temple of Artemis (Artemision), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Located just a 10-minute drive from Ephesus, this site is a must-visit in Selcuk town, despite the limited remains due to earthquakes and the repurposing of columns over 2,500 years.
- Meryemana (The Virgin Mary’s House) - Either before or after visiting Ephesus, guests will arrive at the House of the Virgin Mary, situated in Selcuk, near the ancient city of Ephesus. As this is a private tour, visitors can coordinate visiting times with their guide based on their schedule and interests. The Virgin Mary’s House, believed to be the final residence of the Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus, was visited by three Popes: Paul VI in 1967, John Paul II in 1979, and Benedict XVI in 2006. After receiving information, guests will have ample free time to explore the church, drink holy water, make a wish at the wishing wall, and enjoy a coffee in the garden.
- Selçuk - Ephesus Ancient City, the Virgin Mary’s House, and the Artemis Temple are all located in Selcuk Town. There may be a stop at a local restaurant to enjoy regional cuisine. Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore local shops, depending on their interests and budget.

It was amazing trip ! - Since it’s my first time in Turkey, all I can say is fabulous amazing solo trip I ever had. It’s easy to communicate with Yesim. Everything went perfect during the day and night. Went for a total of 10 days trip to cappadocia, Antalya, pamukale, kusadasi and lastly istanbul. Yesim is such a friendly person where you can get along with. Trust me you won’t regret anything . You would love it eventually . Thank you Yesim, her husband and her team that guided me through out the journey. Never failed to make me comfortable. I had so much fun. Will visit again some other time :)

Spectacular! - It was amazing to contact Blanca, Representative of Megale Travel Turkey Agency, her kindness and patience hooked us, and most importantly, the tour conditions were the best and I can attest that they were fully met.
The guide picked us up at the hotel at the agreed time, the vehicle was the right one, super comfortable, acclimated and exclusive for us. We visited the last abode of the Virgin Mary in Ephesus, the library of Celsus, among other agreed points.
our guide, spoke Spanish very well and demonstrated a broad command of the history of the sites visited.
If we return to Turkey we will use the services of Megale Travel Turkey again, we highly recommend this great agency.

Outstanding! - Amazing experience! Yesim and her husband were on time, very professional and friendly. We toured Ephesus with our 7 year old son and it was a great experience. Stopped for lunch at a beautiful location and learned a lot about the local culture. Highly recommend this tour, we had such a great time!

Megale Travel are the best!! - We just returned from a 10 day adventure in Turkey and it would not have been possible without the guidance and support from Yeşim Ferhat Kulak and her team of outstanding guides. She helped us arrange transfers, tours and day guides as well as help us when our flights got messed up and our accommodations needed last minute changes. We worked with
Yetkin Şeker in Istanbul who introduced us this magical city and Ferda Belcktas in Cappadocia, both provided by Yesmin. Finally, Yesim and her husband were our guides while in Ephesus and surrounding areas. Even though there were some COVID restrictions Yeşim Ferhat Kulak never missed a beat. We could not have done this trip without her. We cannot wait to go back and will surely engage Yeşim Ferhat Kulak again.
