2. Step into the timeless wonder of Ephesus, Turkey’s most iconic ancient city. Discover breathtaking ruins, impressive architecture, and the vibrant history of a once-powerful trading hub on the shores of Asia Minor, just near today’s Izmir.

   2 h

3. Our second stop is the sacred House of the Virgin Mary, nestled in the serene Aladağ Mountains, just five miles from ancient Ephesus. According to tradition, Mary journeyed to Ephesus with St. John in 37 A.D. and spent the final years of her life here until her passing in 48 A.D. Recognized as a holy site, it was declared a place of pilgrimage by the Archbishop of Izmir in 1892. Since then, it has drawn visitors from around the world — including Pope Paul VI, who came here to pray on July 26, 1967.

   1 h

4. Our next stop is the legendary Temple of Artemis — once hailed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Though only a few columns and scattered ruins remain today, the site still radiates an aura of grandeur and reverence. Dedicated to Artemis, the ancient Greek goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and fertility, this temple once stood as one of the most magnificent and awe-inspiring monuments ever built.

About Kusadasi

Kuşadası is a busy Aegean resort on Turkey's west coast, a short drive from Ephesus, one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the Mediterranean.

The town curves around a bay with a busy cruise port, a marina and Pigeon Island, linked to the shore by a causeway and topped by a small stone fortress. The old town's streets climb behind the harbour with bazaars, cafés and restaurants, and beaches such as Ladies Beach and Long Beach stretch along the coast.
