Norma Eleanor S.United States
Our tour with Denizhan was perfect, despite the very scorching heat. Denizhan was very knowledgeable about Ephesus and its history, from the way of life of the people to the materials used in construction of the city. We had a very exciting and interesting experience; he brought to life the stories he told about ancient history. Denizhan was also very accommodating, patient and kind.

Your Kusadasi tour itinerary
Your first stop on this fascinating guided Ephesus tour is the Basilica of St. John, a significant Byzantine church constructed on top of the tomb of John the Apostle. From this stunning basilica, marvel at the breathtaking sight of the Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and witness the earlier settlements of Ephesus. Continue to the ancient city of Ephesus, one of the most magnificent and best preserved sites of Roman history in the world. Ephesus was once the capital of Asia Minor, and it is here that St. Paul spent three years teaching Christianity. Tour the ancient town, visiting the Fountain of Trajan, Temple of Hadrian, Celsus Library, the Marble Street, and the Roman theater that is mentioned in the Acts of Apostles Chapter 19. Immerse yourself in the rich history of Ephesus with an 18-minute audio-visual show at the Ephesus Experience Museum. Your next stop will be the house where Mother Mary is believed to have spent her last years.
