What you can expect
Your private guide at Kusadasi Port will meet you. You will drive Ephesus.
The House of virgin Mary is where Mary may have spent the last days of her life. Indeed, she may have come in the area together with Saint John. This place was officially declared a shrine of the Roman Catholic Church in 1986, and since then it has become a popular place of pilgrimage. Pope Paul VI visited the shrine in 1967. The visit to the House (church) takes about 45 minutes and after our visit; there will be a 5 min drive to Ephesus.
Ephesus is an exceptional testimony to the cultural traditions of the Hellenistic, Roman Imperial, and early Christian periods. Ephesus is an important site for Christianity; being one of the seven Churches of Revelation. Apostle Paul probably spent two and half years in Ephesus during his third missionary journey. It will take about 2 hours to discover Ephesus Ancient City by walking on the marble streets, accompanied by our English-speaking tour guide. The site has two entrances; as it is slightly downhill, it is a better idea to start from the upper gate. On our tour, we will be seeing Odeon, State Agora, Prytaneion, Memmius Monument, Domatian Temple, Hercules Gate, Curetes Street, Hadrian Temple, Latriens, and Private House (so-called 'Terrace Houses') Celsus Library, Marble Road, Commercial Agora, Great Theatre, and Arcadine (Harbour Road).
We will visit the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of antiquity. There will be a good chance to take pictures of the Church of St. John Basilica and the Mosque of Isa Bey from the best angle as well.
St. John Church: It is a Church that stands over the burial site of St.John ( The Evangelist) and constructed by Emperor Justinian in the 6th century.
After the tour, we will make sure to drop you off at Kusadasi Port promptly, ensuring that you are returned to your desired location on time. Your convenience and satisfaction are our top priorities throughout the tour.
