About
Your private tour of Ephesus will be an unforgettable experience. Your tour guide will meet you and drive you to the House of Virgin Mary in our luxurious private van. The House of Virgin Mary holds great significance as a pilgrimage center for Christians, as it is believed to be the place where Virgin Mary spent her final years and passed away. Its authenticity has been unofficially confirmed by visits from Pope Paul VI in 1967, Pope John Paul II in 1979, and Pope Benedict XVI in 2006. During their visits, they presented gifts to the shrine, which you can see firsthand.
After visiting the House of Virgin Mary, we will proceed to Ephesus, one of the most well-preserved Greco-Roman ancient cities in the world. Ephesus boasts several notable sights, including the Odeon, where music concerts were held, the Domitian Temple, which is one of the earliest temples dedicated to a human, and the impressive Celcius Library, the third-largest library in the ancient world. You will also have the opportunity to explore the grand Amphitheatre, with its capacity to hold 24,000 people and where St. Paul once preached. Other points of interest include the Roman Baths, fountains, temples, the Agora, Love House, and Public Toilets. If you choose, we can also visit the Terrace Houses, which were luxurious residences for the wealthy inhabitants of Ephesus during the Roman era. These houses are renowned for their exquisite mosaics and frescoes.
After immersing ourselves in the wonders of Ephesus, we will visit the Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Your knowledgeable guide will provide detailed information about the nearby St. John Basilica, where John the Apostle spent his final years and was laid to rest. The expression of the St. John Basilica will be done from the Temple of Artemis, as these two sites are located next to each other. If you are interested in exploring the ruins of the basilica, simply inform your guide, and they will arrange a visit for you.
Prepare to be captivated by the rich history and archaeological treasures that await you on this remarkable tour of Ephesus, the House of Virgin Mary, the Temple of Artemis, and the St. John Basilica.
