Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

As you enter the ancient city of Ephesus, prepare to be amazed by towering marble columns, centuries-old temples, and intricately carved reliefs. Walk the same roads once traveled by Romans, stand before the magnificent Library of Celsus, and imagine performances in the 25,000-seat Grand Theater. From the Temple of Hadrian to the ancient public baths, every corner whispers stories of a glorious past. Ephesus is not just a visit — it’s a journey through time.

Stop 2

Located on the peaceful slopes of Mount Bülbül near Selçuk, the House of the Virgin Mary is a sacred and serene pilgrimage site. As you walk through its stone archways, expect a sense of deep spiritual calm. Surrounded by pine trees and silence, the modest chapel is believed to be the final home of Mary, mother of Jesus. Visitors often light candles, leave prayers, and drink from the holy spring — a place where faith, history, and peace come together.

Stop 3

Just minutes from the ancient ruins, the Ephesus Museum in Selçuk offers a deeper look into the life and culture of one of the greatest cities of antiquity. Inside, you’ll find beautifully preserved statues, mosaics, jewelry, and everyday items from Ephesus and its surroundings. Don’t miss the stunning statue of Artemis, the Hall of Emperors, and artifacts from the Terrace Houses. It's the perfect place to complete your Ephesus experience — where the past comes to life indoors.
