This tour by private van explores the wonders of ancient Ephesus and the city's Christian history.
Visit the Virgin Mary's House — a serene Catholic shrine believed to be the place where Mary, the mother of Jesus, spent her final years. This site has attracted pilgrims for centuries, including visits by Popes Paul VI, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI.
Next, step back in time as you explore ancient Ephesus — one of the world's most awe-inspiring and well-preserved archaeological treasures. Wander through its ancient streets, marveling at iconic landmarks such as the Odeon Theatre, Curetes Street, the stunning Celsus Library, and Marble Street. The Great Theatre, with a capacity of 25,000 spectators, is still used for concerts today, offering a glimpse of the grand scale of this ancient city.
The Terrace Houses, located opposite Hadrian's Temple, are upscale homes once inhabited by the elite of Ephesus. They are richly adorned with mosaics and frescoes, giving you an authentic sense of the ancient lifestyle.
Visit the Basilica of St John to learn about the legacy of one of Christianity's most important figures. St John the Apostle is believed to have been buried on this site.
Head back to Kusadasi for a leisurely lunch at a luxurious five-star hotel. During your meal, a traditional folkloric show captures the essence of Turkish culture.
Capacity: 8 guests. Your private party may be of any size up to the maximum capacity.
