ITINERARY
- Visit Ephesus, one of the world's richest and most rewarding archaeological sites with ruins dating from the Classical Greek, Hellenistic, Roman and early Byzantine periods. The highlights of our tour will be : * Antique theatre * The famed Library of Celsus * The Mosque of Isabey * The Temple of Artemis (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World) and a group of recently excavated early Byzantine mansions that feature incredibly well-preserved floor mosaics and frescoes. At Ephesus, the past comes to life in a pageantry of architectural and artistic marvels the like of which can be found almost nowhere else in the world.
- Ephesus is also closely associated with the beginnings of the Christian faith. In addition to being the city to which the Letters to the Ephesians were written, St. John and St. Paul both visited the city, and the Virgin Mary herself is said to have spent her last days nearby. We will make a short pilgrimage to the House of the Virgin Mary, which stands high on a mountainside overlooking the Aegean Sea the Greek island of Samos.
