Marmaris – Ephesus & The House of the Virgin Mary

The ancient city of Ephesus is a real cultural treasure, one of the largest archeological sites! There are more than 30 well-preserved ancient buildings from the early civilizations: a large theater with a courtyard for 25,000 people, terraced houses, the second largest depository of texts from the ancient world - the Celsus Library and one of the seven wonders of the ancient world - the Temple of Artemis. After a break for lunch in an authentic Turkish restaurant, we will visit the Mosque of Isa Bey, one of the important landmarks of the Seljuk era, and the Basilica of St. John. At the end of our tour we will visit one of the most important sites on our tour, the House of the Virgin Mary, where she spent her last days.
