Walk Through History: Discover the Splendor of Ancient Ephesus and the Tranquility of the House of the Virgin Mary

Go back thousands of years and immerse yourself in the heart of the ancient world with an unforgettable journey to Ephesus .  Once the thriving Roman capital of Asia Minor, Ephesus remains one of the best-preserved classical cities in the Mediterranean. Prepare to be amazed as you walk the same marble streets where philosophers debated, merchants traded, and Roman emperors once paraded.

Explore the Grandeur of Ephesus:

Imagine echoes of the past as you explore the remarkable ruins of this legendary city. Stand in awe before the breathtaking  Library of Celsus , a stunning testament to Roman architectural splendor. Imagine the roar of the crowds in the vast  Great Theatre , capable of holding 25,000 spectators for gladiatorial combats and dramatic performances. Wander through  the Odeon ,  the Temple of Hadrian , past ancient fountains, villas and public baths, where every stone whispers tales of a vibrant civilization. Our expert guide will bring the city to life, revealing its secrets and significance in the ancient world.

Experience Peace in the House of Virgin Mary:

After exploring Ephesus, we climb Mount Bulbuldağı (Slave Mountain) to a place of profound peace and worship:  the House of the Virgin Mary . Considered by many to be the final earthly home of Mary, the mother of Jesus, this modest stone house offers a peaceful atmosphere for reflection and prayer. Regardless of faith, visitors often experience a tangible sense of peace. You will have the opportunity to see the sacred spring and participate in the tradition of leaving a wish or prayer on the wishing wall.

Take a look at the Legend of the Temple of Artemis:

Our journey through history also includes a stop at the site of the legendary  Temple of Artemis (Artemision) . Although little remains today except for a solitary reconstructed column, this site was once home to one of  the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World . Our guide will paint a picture of its once immense scale and significance, helping you imagine the grandeur that once stood here, dedicated to the Greek goddess of the hunt.
