We invite you on an unforgettable journey where the fascinating history of the ancient city of Ephesus meets the serene atmosphere of the House of Virgin Mary. Depending on your reservation preference, your private tour begins from Kuşadası Port, Kuşadası hotels, or Izmir.
Your first stop is the House of Virgin Mary, a 6th-century sanctuary located 6 km north of Ephesus ruins. This sacred site, an important pilgrimage center for Christianity, offers visitors a peaceful and spiritual experience.
Next, continue to the ancient city of Ephesus, once the second-largest city in the Roman Empire with a population of more than 250,000. Known as a major gateway between East and West, Ephesus was also a thriving center of trade. Explore the grandeur of the Celsus Library, Asia’s largest Roman Theater, and discover ancient wonders such as the Temple of Hadrian and the Agora.
After enjoying a traditional lunch at a local restaurant, proceed to the legendary Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and immerse yourself in its mystical atmosphere.
This private tour can be arranged as either a Kusadasi departure or an Izmir departure, offering flexibility and comfort. It is the perfect choice for travelers wishing to witness Christian heritage, Roman ruins, and timeless cultural treasures all in one journey.
