Watch closely as the historical, spiritual, and cultural wonders of Ephesus unfold before you on a four-hour, fully guided trip around ancient ruins, the House of Virgin Mary, and including roundtrip coach transportation. The House of Virgin Mary, a small stone structure where many popes have visited, is believed to be where the mother of Jesus lived in the years before her death. Here you can pray along the Wishing Wall and collect holy water from the Fountain of Our Lady. Your exploration continues in the heart of Ephesus, one of the most notable excavation sites in the world. Walk streets where an ancient Greek city once thrived, seeing the temples where residents worshipped, the Library of Celsus where scrolls were kept, and the Great Theatre, which housed some 24,000 spectators for gladiator battles and religious sermons. Your return route back to Kusadasi brings you to a local factory where you'll learn all about the intricate art of Turkish carpet weaving.
