According to your private tour pick-up time, meet with your guide and start your full-day tour with Ephesus skip-the-line tickets. Begin with a visit to the House of the Virgin Mary, located 6 km north of the Ephesus ruins. This revered site features a 6th-century AD church built atop the foundations of a 1st-century AD house, believed to be the final residence of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Recognized by the Church, it is a place of pilgrimage and reflection.
Continue your journey to Ancient Ephesus, an archaeological gem and the best-preserved classical city in the Eastern Mediterranean. In the 1st century AD, Ephesus was the world's second-largest city after Rome, boasting over 250,000 citizens and serving as a bustling hub of trade between the East and West. Walk the ancient streets and marvel at the stunning monuments, including the Temple of Artemis—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—the third-largest library of antiquity, and the grandest Roman theatre in Asia.
The Terrace Houses, dating back to the time of Augustus, reveal the opulent lifestyles of Ephesus's wealthy elite with their intricate frescoes and mosaics. Conclude your tour with a visit to the Temple of Artemis, appreciating its historical significance as both a religious sanctuary and one of the earliest banks in the ancient world.
