House of Virgin Mary

As we journey through the verdant and picturesque countryside, our first destination is The House of the Virgin Mary. According to predominant Christian tradition, Mary was brought to Ephesus by the Apostle John after the resurrection of Christ and lived out her final years here. This belief is rooted in the traditional view that John came to Ephesus, coupled with the biblical statement where Jesus consigned Mary to John's care (John 19:26-27). The serene surroundings and historical significance make this site a profound and reflective stop on our journey.

Ephesus Ancient City

Our journey will proceed to the next destination, the Ancient City of Ephesus, renowned globally for its historical and archaeological significance. This walking tour promises to be an enlightening experience as it takes you through one of the most magnificent archaeological sites in the entire world.

Among the notable landmarks, you will encounter the Odeon, an ancient concert hall that once hosted performances and civic events. The tour continues to The Fountain of Trajan, a testament to Roman engineering and aesthetics. As we navigate through the site, the steam baths of Scholastic will reveal the advanced public bathing practices of antiquity. The Temple of Hadrian stands as a monument to architectural brilliance and religious devotion.

Finally, we shall marvel at the very impressive library of Ephesus, an iconic symbol of ancient knowledge and culture. This walking tour will undoubtedly enrich your understanding of ancient civilizations and their enduring legacies.

Temple of Artemis

Then we will continue on tour and head on to our next stop, which is the Temple of Artemis (Diana). This outstanding temple was built in honor of the Greek Goddess of hunting, wild nature, and fertility, and is deemed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The Temple of Artemis used to be the largest marble temple in the ancient Greek world, an astonishing architectural feat since it was four times as big as the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. The significance of this temple extended beyond its sheer size and grandeur; it served as both a bustling marketplace and a revered religious institution.
