Ephesus & Virgin Mary House and Sirince Village Tour [89703P69]
An in-depth guided walking tour of Sirince Village and the holly place of Mother Mary Shrine, located next to the city of Ephesus once the trade center of the ancient world, reveals its historic and archeological significance through its major sights.
Stroll through the Sirince is a pretty old Orthodox village, 12 km away from Ephesus and 30 km from Kusadasi, which was once Cirkince ("ugly"). Indeed its habitants gave this name on purpose as they did not want to be bothered by foreigners nor to share the beauty of their village.

ITINERARY
- Virgin Mary where she spent her last days, preferred to live in this remote place rather than in a crowded place
- The Temple of Artemis is known as one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world.it had tremendous dimensions: 127 columns of each 17,5 meters high. Unfortunately, this one has also been destroyed by fire, reconstructed and again demolished by earthquakes, rebuilt and at last looted by Goths one year later. Today the basement and some broken pillars only can be seen from the temple.
- Selçuk is one of the most visited tourist destinations within Turkey, known for its closeness to the ancient city of Ephesus, House of the Virgin Mary and Seljuk works of art.
- This pretty old Orthodox village, 12 km away from Ephesus and 30 km from Kusadasi, was once Cirkince ("ugly"). Today the village is a perfect synthesis of Turk-Greek culture as of the 1920's: after the Independence War, people exchange between Greek and Turks has occurred and all those typical Greek houses, though they kept their original outside characteristics, have received the local layout inside.
- We will visit the ancient, Greek city of Ephesus, a marvelous place surrounded by trees. During the day, we will also visit spectacular places, such as Hadrian Temple, Celcius Library, Theater, Hamams, and Old Harbor.
