Itinerary

Disembark at Kusadasi Port and meet your private guide right at the arrival area, a smooth and personalized start to your day!

First, enjoy a short scenic drive to the House of the Virgin Mary, the peaceful site believed to be where the Virgin Mary spent her final days. Recognized as a holy shrine by the Roman Catholic Church since 1986, this serene spot offers a moment of reflection and beautiful views.

Next, continue to the legendary ancient city of Ephesus, the UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the well-preserved archaeological sites in the world and one of the Seven Churches of Revelation in the Bible. Walk the ancient marble streets with your expert guide as you explore the rich layers of Hellenistic, Roman Imperial, and early Christian history.

Highlights include: The impressive Odeon and State Agora, Prytaneion, Memmius Monument, and Domitian Temple, Hercules Gate and bustling Curetes Street, Hadrian Temple, the iconic Library of Celsus, Marble Road, Commercial Agora, and the massive Great Theatre and Arcadian Way

After Ephesus, make a quick stop at the site of the once magnificent Temple of Artemis (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World). Capture perfect photos of the nearby Basilica of St. John and the elegant Isa Bey Mosque , all from the best vantage points.
