Highlights
- Ancient City of Ephesus - Once within the confines of the ancient city, we will delve into the exploration of this former Roman metropolis, taking in sights such as the Library of Celcius, Temple of Hadrian, the Theatre, and Odeon. We’ll encounter remnants from both Hellenistic and Roman times: the Odeon, Bouleterion, various Fountains, Temples, and Roman Baths. The Library of Celsus is particularly notable for its statues representing the virtues of Wisdom, Knowledge, Intellect, and Courage. The Great Theater is historically significant as the location where St. Paul delivered sermons to the Ephesians.
- Meryemana (The Virgin Mary’s House) - This modest stone dwelling, believed to be the Virgin Mary’s final abode, has become a revered site for Catholic pilgrims globally. It is considered by many to be the place where the Blessed Mary spent her concluding years, and the Vatican has recognized it as one of her last places of residence. To date, three pontiffs have visited this sacred site: Pope Paul VI in 1967, Pope John Paul II in 1995, and Pope Benedict XVI in 2008.
