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.

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 een drukke badplaats aan de Egeïsche kust van Turkije, vlak bij Efeze, een van de best bewaarde oude steden van het Middellandse Zeegebied.

De stad buigt rond een baai met een drukke cruisehaven, een jachthaven en Duiveneiland, dat met een dam met de kust is verbonden en wordt bekroond door een klein stenen fort. De straten van de oude stad klimmen achter de haven omhoog met bazaars, cafés en restaurants, en stranden als Ladies Beach en Long Beach strekken zich langs de kust uit.
