WHAT THEY SAID
Full Day Ephesus Tour Itinerary And Further Details
- After your guide meets you in Kusadasi / Selcuk, you will have a short drive to the House of Virgin Mary (we usually spend 45-60 minutes there; you can also have some additional free time to pray). According to Christian tradition, Mary was brought to Ephesus by the Apostle John after the Resurrection of Christ and lived her final days there. This church was erected on the foundation of that house, and its authenticity has been confirmed by Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II.
- Afterwards, we will drive 10 minutes to Ephesus. We usually spend one and half to two hours in Ephesus. The highlight of the tour is the ancient city of Ephesus, the largest open-air museum in Turkey and the best preserved classical city in the Eastern Mediterranean. Cleopatra, Mark Antony, Virgin Mary and John the Apostle once walked its streets. As you walk through the city, your Ephesus guide will explain you about life in ancient Rome.
