Overview of your Kusadasi tour

Ephesus was one of the largest and most important cities of the ancient Mediterranean world and has been the melting pot of various civilizations and cultures for centuries. Countless cultures have trod its shores and plains, leaving behind layers of stunning ruins and echoes of ancient people. Ancient temples dedicated to different deities and magnificent structures once nestled in Ephesus. In addition to that The city was a key point in the spread of Christianity. Turkey in general really is the focus of the New Testament. 2/3 of the New Testament was either written to or from Turkey, most of Paul's missionary journeys taking place here in this wonderful land. 7 churches of revelation are in Turkey and of course, Ephesus has an important place in Christian theology as being one of them. It is also claimed to be the last place where the Virgin Mary had spent the final years of her life. Ephesus was surely the 3rd most important city after Jerusalem and Antioch in the early years of Christianity.
