After meeting your private guide at the Kusadasi Port, you’ll take a beautiful 30-minute drive to the House of the Virgin Mary, which Pope Paul VI declared a pilgrimage center in 1967. The Pope said, “She might have spent her last days here.”
When you spend almost an hour at the spot, you can feel the holy time.
It will take you 5 minutes to get to the upper gate of Ephesus after you’ve seen the House of the Virgin Mary, and from there, the itinerary will continue to the old city. Your private driver will wait for you at the lower gate while you and your guide walk down the hill.
To see the ancient city, it will take 2 hours.
You will have a chance to spend a short time in the top souvenir area before going to the ancient site. At the lower gift area, you’ll have a lot more time.
As an expert scholar leads you through the main streets of Ephesus, you will see buildings made of marble that were built between the 1st and 7th centuries AD.
The Great Theatre is the only ruin from the 3rd century BC, and it is also very important for Christians. Because Saint Paul the Apostle preached to the Ephesians there.
When you go through the Magnesian Gate, you will see businesses, government buildings, and the Augustus Basilica, which is surrounded by a circle of columns, at the State Agora.
As you walk down the main streets, your guide will tell you basic facts and history about fountain decorations, statues, and the famous temples of Emperors Domitian, Trajan, and Hadrian.
When you go through the Hercules Gate, you will see the Celsus Library. It was the third-largest library in ancient times, after Alexandria and Pergamum. It had more than 12,000 scroll books.
The Terrace Houses are a unique old place on the slopes of Bülbül Mountain (Coressus). They are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. They were where the rich people of Ephesus lived. Every part of the terrace houses shows how rich the people of Ephesus were. There are frescoes, mosaics, and individual heating systems. From the front door to the upper exit, there are 80 steps.
Inside the archaeological site, there is a different fee to get into the terrace houses.
If you want to see inside one of them, you should take a tour of Terrace Houses. Please ask what you need to know.
As you get close to leaving the old city, there is a souvenir area with restrooms and shops.
It takes 5 minutes to get to the original site of the Artemis Temple, which is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World because of how big and beautiful it was. You are going to see where the temple used to be and the columns that are still there from the 6th century BC. (The time is 30 minutes.)
Your guide will also suggest a local place for lunch and tell you about traditional things to see and do while you’re there.
Kusadasi and the area around it are seasonal and laid-back. And each site is only about 5 minutes away by car.
So, people have a good time when they go to places like a weaving school or a ceramic art center.
