Itinerary
Upon arriving in Izmir, our guide will welcome you & you will proceed to drive to Selcuk to begin your tour exploring the wondrous Ancient City of Ephesus, once a thriving hub of culture, trade & religion. You will have the chance to explore the impressive Theatre, the Library of Celsus & the remnants of its vast agora.
Located on Mount Bülbül just 9 km from Selçuk, the House of the Virgin Mary (Meryem Ana Evi) is a sacred pilgrimage site where, according to tradition, Saint John brought Mary to live out her final years. Discovered in 1891 following the mystical visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, this peaceful stone shrine nestled in nature is revered by both Christians and Muslims around the world. Visited by multiple Popes, the sanctuary offers visitors a serene atmosphere to explore the restored chapel, drink from the sacred water fountain, and leave a prayer on the famous Wishing Wall.
Visit one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Dedicated to the Goddess of hunt Artemis, it once stood as one of the largest & most elaborate temple of its time. Though only ruins remain today, the site still evokes awe for its historical significance & architectural magnificence.
