Ephesus and The House of The Virgin Mary TourIzmir: Ephesus Private Van & Guided Tour

You will experience all the privileges of a private tour. You will visit the Ephesus Ruins, Ephesus Archeology Museum, St. Jhone Basilica, The Temple of Artemis, and The House of Mother Mary.
Pick up from Izmir Port or Izmir Hotels.
After a one-hour drive, arrive in Ephesus, which was the Roman capital of Asia Minor and home to over a quarter of a million people —from slave traders to saints— at its peak between 1 AD and 2 AD. 150 years of excavations at Ephesus have revealed the most complete Greco-Roman classical city on Earth. Terraced Houses contain handsome frescoes from the 2nd century CE extending up the hill. They once housed the city's wealthier and more prominent families, who lavished the interiors with superbly preserved frescoes and mosaics. The decor and furnishings of the houses have provided some interesting information about the lifestyle of the Ephesian elite during the Roman and early Byzantine periods. Inevitably, the houses have been compared with similar buildings found in the parts of the Roman Empire, particularly with the 1C villas of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The consensus is that the Ephesian's houses are in no way inferior to these.

The next stop will be the Ephesus Archeology Museum. A large part of the museum’s excavations at Ephesus, St. Jean Church, Artemision, and Belevi Grave Memorial consists of works brought from other nearby ruins.

The House of Mother Mary is where Mary was brought to Ephesus by the Apostle John after the Resurrection of Christ and lived out her final resting days here following the Predominant Christian belief. This is based mainly on the traditional belief that John came to Ephesus and the biblical statement that Jesus consigned her to John’s care (John 19:26-27).

Discover the Temple of Artemis (Diana), an outstanding temple built in honor of the Greek Goddess of hunting, wild nature, and fertility, deemed one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Hear about its significance and the tension between the Romans and Christians that settled in the area over the centuries from your private guide.
At the end of the tour, we will drive back to Izmir.
