Highlights

Ephesus
Ephesus is an ancient city in Turkey’s Central Aegean region, near modern-day Selçuk. Its excavated remains reflect centuries of history, from classical Greece to the Roman Empire – when it was the Mediterranean’s main commercial center – to the spread of Christianity. Paved streets wind past squares, baths and monumental ruins. The Temple of Hadrian was built before 138 A.D. for Emperor Hadrian’s visit.
House of Virgin Mary
The House of the Virgin Mary is a Catholic shrine located on Mt. Koressos in the vicinity of Ephesus, 7 kilometers from Selçuk in Turkey.
The temple of Artemis
Archaeological museum in Delos

Itinerary

10:00

Starting out in Ephesus, you’ll get the grand tour of some of the world’s finest surviving historical buildings. There’s the Library of Celsus, built as a memorial to Gaius Julius Celsus Polemanus, the proconsul of the Province of Asia. There’s the Grand Theatre – where St Paul preached to as many as 24,000 people. And of course, there’s the Temple of Artemis too.

Before you get to the Temple though, there’s a little more to discover beyond Ephesus. Out in the country, you’ll discover the Basilica of St John and the House of the Virgin Mary – both revered sites with fascinating stories attached. Your personal Guide will fill you in on everything you need to know.

Next, it’s time to visit the Artemission Temple. Once one of the wonders of the world, the Temple no longer stands, but its legacy – and the remnants left behind – offer a tantalizing glimpse of the past. Again, just ask your guide to fill in the blanks.

There will be a trip to the famous Terraced Houses with entrance fees included within this tour price.

There’s one final treat in store. A visit to the mountain village of Sirince. Up here, among the fruit trees, churches and winding roads is a little oasis of calm. A perfect place for a relaxed lunch and a glass of the local fruity wine.

There’ll still be time to explore too. Sirince is a fascinating fusion of Greek and Turkish and there’s lots to discover here. So grab the chance.

Then it’s back to port and time to reflect on an amazing day.
