Ancient City of Ephesus

Ephesus is one of the most impressive and well-preserved ancient cities in the world, located in modern-day Turkey. Originally founded in the 10th century BCE, it became a major center of trade, politics, and religion during the Roman period. The site offers visitors a chance to walk through marble-paved streets and admire stunning landmarks like the grand Roman theater, which could accommodate 25,000 spectators, and the beautifully reconstructed Library of Celsus. You'll also explore ruins of ancient marketplaces, public baths, temples, and homes that reflect daily life in a once-thriving metropolis. Ephesus was also a spiritual hub, home to the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Today, it remains one of Turkey's most visited archaeological treasures, attracting history lovers and travelers from all over the globe. With expert guides available, visitors can dive deeper into the fascinating stories and architecture that make Ephesus truly unforgettable.

Meryemana (The Virgin Mary's House)

Located on the peaceful slopes of Mount Koressos near Ephesus, the House of the Virgin Mary is a sacred site visited by thousands each year. It is believed to be the final home of Mary, the mother of Jesus, where she lived under the care of Saint John after the crucifixion. Rediscovered in the 19th century following the visions of a German nun, the small stone house has been recognized by the Vatican and visited by several Popes. Today, it remains a place of prayer and reflection for both Christians and Muslims. Visitors can explore the modest chapel, drink from a sacred spring, and leave wishes on the Wishing Wall. Surrounded by olive trees and tranquil nature, the site offers a serene and spiritual atmosphere, making it a powerful stop on any Ephesus tour. Whether you seek history or faith, the House of the Virgin Mary provides a deeply moving and memorable experience.

The Temple of Artemis

The Temple of Artemis, once located near the city of Ephesus, was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built in the 6th century BCE and rebuilt several times due to destruction, it was a magnificent structure dedicated to Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, fertility, and nature. At its height, the temple featured over 100 towering marble columns and was considered one of the largest and most beautiful temples ever constructed. Though only a few columns remain today, the site continues to captivate visitors with its historical significance and the sense of wonder it inspires. It stands as a powerful reminder of Ephesus’s former religious and cultural prominence. Visiting the Temple of Artemis offers a rare opportunity to connect with ancient history and reflect on the architectural and spiritual marvels of the classical world. It's a brief yet meaningful stop that adds depth and context to your Ephesus experience.
