Overview of your Ephesus tour:

A very spiritual day in the city of Ephesus, the chief of the seven churches of Asia Minor, where two apostles Paul and John came. It is a holy city where St. Paul wrote his first letter to the Corinthians and where St. John addressed one of his 7 letters. The Virgin Mary came and spent her last years here as well. While walking the streets of this ruined city today, we will imagine that Paul also once walked on the same stones. While seating in the great theater, we also might hear the shouts of the Ephesians and the silversmith Demetrius -Great is Artemis of the Ephesians-. The basilica which was built over the grave of the Apostle John and once the second biggest church of the Christianity is another religious stop with its wonderful view and mystical atmosphere Listening of Ephesus and St. Paul from a local who is a lover of Ephesus and a cultural heritage expert who has devoted much of his career to Christian history will be really different. . .

Your Ephesus tour itinerary

-After 20 min. drive, we start the day with the MARY'S HOUSE where she is said to have spent her last years and an accepted pilgrimage site by the Vatican. Not a church but a very mystical religious site so visitors are expected to dress properly. It is recommended to bring an empty bottle to get some holy water from the spring there. -Then we proceed to EPHESUS, where the Apostle Paul came twice and preached to the Ephesian in its great theater. Moreover, it is one of the first 7 churches of Asia Minor where St. John wrote his Gospel (the fourth book of the New Testament) before he died. From the beginning till the end of this walking tour in Ephesus city some Roman ruins can be seen. -Upon meeting our driver at the exit gate of Ephesus we are taking a short drive to a co-op where we're having a delicious lunch and a private demonstration of the traditional rug-making process. The next stop after lunch is the BASILICA OF ST. JOHN. Finish the day with the TEMPLE OF ARTEMIS, one of the 7 wonders of antiquity.
