1. One of the most significant aspects of our private excursions of Ephesus is Ephesus Ancient City. With a population of about 250,000 during the Roman era, Ephesus was the third-largest city in the Roman Empire. Additionally, it served as Asia Minor's capital and economic hub. Latrines, the Temple of Hadrian, the Great Theater of Ephesus (the largest in Anatolia), the Library of Celsus (the third largest library in the ancient world), and more will be available for you to visit.

2. In his final remarks before his execution, Jesus Christ gave his mother, Mary, to his apostle St. John since Jarusalem was no longer a secure place for her. John thought it safe to set the Virgin Mary on Bulbul Mountain, which is close to Ephesus. It is thought that the Virgin Mary passed away at this dwelling during her last years. Following the visits of Pope Paul VI in 1967, Pope John Paul II in 1979, and Pope Benedict XVI in 2006, the House of the Virgin Mary is now formally recognized as a destination of pilgrimage.
