ITINERARY
- We'll meet you at Izmir International Cruise Port upon arrival and drive to Selçuk to visit Ephesus. Ephesus draws millions of people every year with its history and spiritual importance. Ephesus used to be a major Roman City and a busy trade hub. Also, as the home of the Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the Ancient World, Ephesus was a popular city. It was also an important center for Christianity since St. Paul preached at the Great Theater, and St. John is believed to have spent his last years. Ephesus is mentioned in the Book of Revelation as one of the Seven Churches of Asia. We'll visit the Celsus Library, Great Theater, Temple of Hadrian, the Fountain of Trajan, Hercules Gate, Domitian Temple, and more. You'll get to experience the atmosphere of this ancient city, feel its history, and take in the sights that make Ephesus one of the most remarkable ancient cities in Turkey.
- Terrace Houses are the villas of the rich Ephesians and gives you a glimpse of daily life in ancient Ephesus.
- We will visit Ephesus Experience Museum, offering a journey throught the history of Ephesus and daily life of Roman era. The Experience museum brings Ephesus to life through 3D projections, interactive storytelling, and digital reconstructions. The museum provides a sensory and educational experience, making it an excellent addition to exploring the actual ruins of Ephesus.
- Virgin Mary's House is a humble stone house overlooking Ephesus from the Bulbul Mountain. Discovered by the Lazarist priests following the visions of a German nun Katherine Emerick, today, it is a pilgrimage site for Muslims and Christians. You can pray in the chapel or find peace at the serene garden. This is a spiritual experience.
- Our final stop is the Temple of Artemis. The Temple of Artemis in Ephesus was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, dedicated to Artemis, the goddess of fertility and hunting. Once a massive structure with 127 marble columns, it was a major religious and cultural center of its time. Though only a few ruins remain today, it still stands as a symbol of Ephesus' ancient glory and significance in history.
