Meryemana (The Virgin Mary's House)

Your journey begins in a place of peace and reverence—the House of the Virgin Mary, nestled in the quiet hills above Ephesus. Believed to be the final home of Mary, mother of Jesus, this humble stone chapel has become a sacred sanctuary for both Christians and visitors of all faiths. Surrounded by pine trees and birdsong, the site offers a moment of reflection, stillness, and spiritual connection.We begin our tour here, where faith and history intertwine beneath the soft Aegean light. As you step through the ancient doorway, you’ll feel a gentle hush in the air—a sense that this ground, though simple, carries the weight of centuries and prayers whispered across time. Visiting the House of Mary is not just a stop on your itinerary—it is a serene and sacred beginning to a day filled with wonder.

Ancient City of Ephesus

Upon arrival at Ephesus, we embark on our exploration of this meticulously preserved ancient city. Originally founded in the 10th century BC by Attic and Ionian Greek settlers on the former Arzawan capital site, Ephesus thrived as a prominent city-state along the Ionian coast, approximately 3 kilometers southwest of modern-day Selçuk in İzmir Province, Turkey. During the Classical Greek period, it held significant status as one of the twelve cities belonging to the Ionian League. In 129 BC, Ephesus fell under the dominion of the Roman Republic, marking a pivotal era in its history.

The Temple of Artemis

The Temple of Artemis, also called the Artemision or Temple of Diana, was an ancient Greek temple honoring a local version of the goddess Artemis (equivalent to the Roman goddess Diana). Situated in Ephesus, it underwent complete reconstruction twice: first following a destructive flood, and later, three centuries after, due to an arson attack. In its ultimate incarnation, it achieved renown as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. By the year 401 AD, the temple had suffered ruin or destruction. Today, only foundational remnants and fragments of the last temple remain at the site.
