Ephesus In A Day
Tour Code : EIAD
Istanbul (Antalya or another destination) – Ephesus – Istanbul (Antalya or another destination)
Take the morning flight from Istanbul to Izmir. Arrival at the airport and meeting just outside the arrival’s gate with a sign bearing your name with your driver. Transfer to Ephesus.
Visit to the ancient city of Ephesus. We will spend several hours walking in the footsteps of Alexander the Great, Caesar, Cicero, Apostles Paul and John and many other familiar historical names. The recently opened Terrace Houses (optional visit with extra entrance fee) where the wealthiest Romans lived are an excellent example of sensitive excavation and presentation. The mosaics and frescos are spectacular. The next stop is The House of Virgin Mary. Tradition has it that Virgin Mary was brought here by St John after the Crucifixion and lived her final years near the city of Ephesus on an isolated mountaintop. A lovely chapel is constructed on the site tended by Franciscans and open to visitors. It has been designated a pilgrimage site by the Pope. We will continue with Saint John Church where Apostle John spent his final years and he was buried. Visit to temple of Artemis to see the remains of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Transfer to Izmir airport and take the evening flight to Istanbul.
