Itinerary
Ephesus Ancient City stands as a testament to the grandeur and cultural richness of ancient civilizations. Originally established as an Ionian Greek city in the 10th century BCE, Ephesus flourished as a major port city and commercial hub under Roman rule, reaching its zenith in the 1st and 2nd centuries CE. Today, it is celebrated for its remarkably well-preserved ruins, which offer a captivating glimpse into daily life, architecture, and religious practices spanning several millennia.
The House of Mother Mary, nestled on the slopes of Mount Koressos near Ephesus, is a place of profound spiritual significance for Christians worldwide. According to tradition and religious belief, this humble stone house is where Mary, the mother of Jesus, spent her final years under the care of the apostle John after the crucifixion of Jesus.
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, also known as the Artemision, was a monumental Greek temple dedicated to Artemis, the goddess of hunting, wilderness, and fertility. Situated in an expansive sacred precinct near the ancient city of Ephesus, the temple was renowned for its grandeur and significance in antiquity. It was one of the seven wonders of the ancient World.

About İzmir
İzmir is Turkey's third-largest city, an Aegean port with an old bazaar, a seafront promenade and the ancient ruins of Ephesus and Pergamon within reach.
İzmir, known to the ancient Greeks as Smyrna, lies at the head of a deep gulf on the Aegean coast. Konak Square has an ornate clock tower from 1901 and the small Konak Mosque, and the Kemeraltı bazaar sprawls behind it with workshops, mosques and old caravanserais. The Asansör, a historic lift in the Karataş district, rises to a terrace overlooking the gulf, and a long promenade, the Kordon, runs beside the water.
Top-ranked sights in İzmir: Pergamon (Pergamum), Sardis (Sart), Bergama Asklepion (Pergamon Asclepeion).
