About Full-Day Ephesus and Virgin Mary's House Tour from Izmir
Step back in time and discover two of the most sacred and historically rich sites in Turkey on this full-day tour from Izmir to Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary. Accompanied by an expert local guide, this tour takes you through ancient ruins, religious landmarks, and breathtaking architecture that reflects centuries of spiritual and cultural significance.
Begin your day with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in Izmir and travel in a climate-controlled vehicle through scenic landscapes to the House of the Virgin Mary, a peaceful sanctuary nestled in the hills of Aladag Mountain. Believed to be the final residence of Mary, the mother of Jesus, this revered site has been visited by several Popes and is a major pilgrimage destination for Christians around the world.
Continue your journey with a guided tour of Ephesus, one of the best-preserved ancient cities of the Roman Empire. Walk through the marble streets lined with the remains of grand monuments such as the Library of Celsus, the Great Theater, the Temple of Hadrian, and more. Dive deep into history as your guide brings the ruins to life with fascinating stories from the past.
For those who choose the Terrace Houses option, step into the luxurious homes of Ephesus’ wealthy elite, adorned with intricate mosaics and frescoes. This section offers an intimate look at ancient domestic life but is not recommended for travelers with mobility issues.
