PRIVATE EPHESUS DAY TOUR ITINERARY

 

You will meet your guide in front of the Tourism Information Office, opposite the exit gate of Kuşadası Port. We will inform you of the guide's name and phone number. After the meeting, you will start your tour of Ephesus, which is 20 km away.

The Virgin Mary House: Visit the house of the Virgin Mary located on the summit of Bulbul Mountain, 6 km away from the ancient city of Ephesus.
According to legend, he went to Ephesus with the Virgin Mary and St. John and spent his last years in this house. Pope VI Paul visited in 1967, blessed this house, and recognized it as the House of Mary and a pilgrimage centre for Christians.

Ephesus Ancient City: Later on, arriving at the upper gate of Ephesus, one of the best-preserved Greco-Roman ancient cities of the Ionian Region with a population of 250.000 in its top times, we started to tread all cities from up to down gate around 4 km. long. The major heritages going to be seen on this trip are:

Ephesus Grand Theater: It is the second-largest (the first is the Colosseum in Italy) and one of the best acoustic amphitheatres in the world, with a capacity of 24,000 people. Saint Paul and several priests preached here after the Roman Empire approved Christianity.

Celsus Library: It is the third largest ancient library, dedicated to the famous Roman consul Celsus. Visiting this place offers an unexpected experience, allowing one to catch the essence of an era that has survived for over 2500 years through its magnificent architecture, reliefs, and sculptures.

Sure, you will observe many remains dated to different periods of the Roman Empire, such as the Hadrian Temple, Domitian Temple, Odeon, Medical School, Scholastica Bath (the second biggest Roman Bath in Turkey), Love House, Various Monumental Fountains (dedicated to great emperors), Latrines (public toilet), Commercial Agora, Curetes Street, Arcadian Street (Ephesus harbour), and Terrace Houses.

Artemis Temple: The Temple of Artemis is a large ancient Greek temple in Ephesus, considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. First in B.C. Built by the Lydian King Croesus in the 550s, the field was later enlarged and renovated by the Romans, Ioanians and Alexander the Great.  Today, only a few columns and foundation ruins of the temple remain standing. Those who visit the Ancient City of Ephesus can see clues about this remarkable building's glorious past. Some works from the Temple of Artemis are exhibited in the British Museum in London.

St. John Church: ytSt. John's Basilica is located on Selçuk Ayasuluk hill. St. John the Evangelist's tomb is in the middle of the church. A small chapel was first built over his grave in the 4th century. Later, during the reign of Emperor Justinianus, St. John's Church was transformed into a magnificent basilica.

Terrace Houses: Terrace houses in Ephesus are where the elite and wealthy class live. These Terrace Houses are 50 meters from the Library of Celsus, opposite the Temple of Hadrian, and overlook Kuretes Street. Terrace houses were built on 3 terraces of stone walls in 200 B.C.
