Highlights
- Ephesus Museum - Founded by chance in pre-Greek times, this city rose to prominence under Roman Rule, the remains of which are clearly seen today in all their glory and splendor. Many of the significant statues are located at the small but interesting nearby museum. One of which is the statue of Artemis - both the venerated object of Ephesian worship and the cause of tumult for St. Paul. This site is one of the splendors of Turkey. A must-see.
- The Basilica of Saint John - The center of pilgrimage for many years - apostle John was buried here and throughout the early Byzantine era - this site was a draw for Christians. Close to Ephesus, it now quietly sits on a citadel-like hill overlooking the swamp were the infamous Artemis temple once stood, now marked by a single column and the occasional stork.
- Meryemana (The Virgin Mary’s House) - The supposed home where Mary lived in her later years, it is an important Catholic site of visitation located in the quiet cool forest above Ephesus.

Very good and amazing - Our guide Rabia was extraordinary as well as all the guide we had. Having a private driver was a plus because we started the day based on how we felt sometime earlier than others.
