The House of the Virgin Mary is a Christian and Muslim shrine located on a hill outside the ancient city of Ephesus. It is believed by many to be the place where the Virgin Mary spent her last years of life. The house was discovered in the 19th century and has since been restored for visitors to see. The interior of the house is decorated with prayer messages from visitors from all over the world. Many visitors to the site report feeling a strong spiritual presence and find it to be a moving and peaceful experience.
Ephesus was an ancient Greek city located in the coast of Asia Minor (present-day Turkey), and it was one of the largest and most important cities of the ancient world. Founded in the 10th century BC, it was an important center of trade and commerce, and it became the capital of the Roman province of Asia in the 2nd century BC. Today, the ruins of Ephesus are an impressive testament to its former grandeur, with highlights such as the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, the Temple of Hadrian, and the impressive Marble Road.
Visit a traditional carpet weaving village to discover the art of handmade Turkish carpets, watch local artisans at work, and learn about centuries-old weaving techniques and natural dyes. Afterwards, enjoy a delicious traditional Turkish lunch prepared with fresh local ingredients in a peaceful village setting, offering an authentic taste of Turkish hospitality and cuisine.
