What you can expect

Explore the stunning ruins of Ephesus on this full-day sightseeing tour from Kusadasi. As it is a private tour you can start at any time you like.

You will also visit the small House of the Virgin Mary, where it is thought she spent her final days after St. John brought her to Ephesus following the death of Jesus. Located on Mount Bulbuldagi , it’s a popular pilgrim site for Christians and Muslims and boasts a captivating, spiritual atmosphere.

Once inside the grounds of Ephesus, wander among the ruins with your guide to see sites such as the Odeon Theatre, which could seat up to 1,400 spectators in its day. Admire the beautiful Roman statues and decorations carved into marble slabs at the Pollio Fountain. Other highlights include the Celcius Library, completed by the Romans in 117AD. The building has the most awe-inspiring façade, with columns, statues, and intact windows.

Finally, explore the Greek Temple of Artemis, one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, and go to the Basilica of St John, constructed by Justinian I over the burial site of the Apostle John.
