Get picked up from your hotel in Kusadasi or Selcuk by your tour guide and start the tour with the highlights of Ephesus.
Explore the stunning ruins of Ephesus on a full-day sightseeing tour. Ephesus is the best-preserved classical city on Mediterranean, and perhaps the best place in the world to get a feeling of what life was like in Roman times.
Walk along its remarkably well-preserved marble streets, flanked by columns, temples, and fountains.
See fascinating ancient structures such as Temple of Hadrian, the stunning facade of Library of Celsus, and Great Theater.
Your expert guide will provide you with information about the many remarkable sites you encounter throughout the day.
House of the Virgin Mary lies just beyond Ephesus. According to Christian tradition, Mary was brought here by apostle John after the Resurrection of Christ and lived her final days in this house.
A small shrine dedicated to St. Mary was found when the ruins of the house were first discovered. The Vatican has since recognized the site as the final resting place of Mary.
Visit Isa Bey Mosque from the 14th century by the first Muslim family that settled in West Anatolia. You will have great information about the architecture of early Islam.
You will also have the opportunity to visit the Terrace Houses, known for their well-preserved mosaics and frescoes that provide insight into the luxurious lifestyle of wealthy Ephesians.
After the tour, you will be dropped off at your hotel. This is the end of our service. We sincerely hope to welcome you as our guest again!
