About
Ephesus, House of Virgin Mary, Temple of Artemis, Terrace Houses, St. John Basilica(Expression from temple of Artemis)
Your Ephesus private tour guide will be waiting for you. You will travel to the House of Virgin Mary in a new Mercedes private van. The House of Virgin Mary is a significant pilgrimage center for Christians, believed to be the place where Virgin Mary spent her final years and passed away. The authenticity of the shrine was "unofficially" confirmed by Pope Paul VI in 1967, and it has since been visited by Pope John Paul II in 1979 and Pope Benedict XVI in 2006. During their visits, they presented gifts to the shrine, which you will have the opportunity to see.
After visiting the House of Virgin Mary, we will proceed to Ephesus Ancient City, renowned as one of the best-preserved Greco-Roman ancient cities in the world. You will explore notable attractions such as the Odeon, where music concerts were held, the Domitian Temple, one of the first temples dedicated to a human, the Celcius Library, the third largest library in ancient times, the amphitheater with a capacity of 24,000 people where St. Paul preached, Roman Baths, Fountains, Temples, Agora, Love House, Public Toilets, and optional Terrace Houses, which were luxurious residences for the wealthy in Roman Ephesus, known for their impressive mosaics and frescoes.
Following the exploration of Ephesus, we will visit the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Your guide will provide you with detailed information about the nearby St. John Basilica, where the Apostle John spent his final years and was buried. The expression of the church will be shared from the Temple of Artemis as they are located adjacent to each other.
