Experience all the ancient history, religious relics, and Turkish flavors Ephesus has on offer with a 5.5-hour guided tour of its UNESCO-listed ruins, the House of Virgin Mary, plus enjoy lunch in a prominent hotel. You'll first enter the House of Virgin Mary, where the mother of Jesus lived during the final years of her life. A sacred space among popes and Christian pilgrims, this small stone building, dating back to the Apostolic Age, also houses the Fountain of Our Lady, which is filled with holy water. Back to Ephesus you'll follow your informative guide on foot through the heart of this ancient Greek city. Among the crumbling ruins you'll find the small Odeon theater, where locals performed plays, and the Great Theatre, where gladiators battled before massive crowds. The Scholastica baths were a restful place of respite, while the Library of Celsus stored the city's most important scrolls. You'll then appease your appetite in a luxury hotel, where an open buffet of Turkish dishes will be offered for lunch. Back in Kusadasi you can opt to watch a Turkish carpet presentation before walking on your own back to the ship.
