Journey to Ephesus
At the scheduled time, we will collect you from your hotel and commence our journey to Ephesus. Following a three-and-a-half-hour trip, you will arrive at this well-preserved ancient city, which stands as one of Turkey's finest archaeological sites, ready to unveil its secrets.
Your guided exploration of Ephesus will reveal essential landmarks, including the Temple of Hadrian and the renowned Library of Celsus, celebrated for being one of the most opulent and comprehensive libraries of the Roman Empire in this region.
A highlight of the tour is undoubtedly the Roman Theater. Its vast structure, capable of accommodating 25,000 spectators, leaves a lasting impression on all who visit. Envision the grandeur of its past as you stand in its midst.
Following our thorough visit to Ephesus, we will stop at a local restaurant to enjoy a traditional Turkish lunch, replenishing our energy before continuing. Post-meal, our journey will take us to the magnificent Isa Bey Mosque, which dates back to the era of the Anatolian beyliks.
Finally, we will visit the revered House of the Virgin Mary. Here, you will delve into the narrative of Christ’s mother, who, as the tradition narrates, was accompanied by St. John in this sanctuary after Jesus' crucifixion.
Your day concludes as we return you to your hotel, approximately 12 hours after our departure.
