About this activity
The Ancient City of Ephesus
Ephesus was once one of the largest Roman Cities of the East and once played host to being the Capital. The well preserved marble ruins used to house over 200,000 people almost 3,000 years ago. Today you get to visit the highlights of the old city in the Odeon, the Great Theatre, the Celsius Library and the Temple of Hadrian.
Temple Of Artemis
Today all you can see still standing of the Temple of Artemis is the large marble columns that used to hold up the temple. The ruins now sit within swamp lands that over time have taken over the area. The Temple is known as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and you get an idea of its majestic beauty from what remains in the sculptured columns capitals and shafts.
House Of Virgin Mary
Located on top of Bulbul Mountain the House of Virgin Mary is said to be the last place that she lived before her ascension into heaven. It is now a very important and popular place of pilgrimage for Catholics. Situated on top of the mountain it offers you wonderful views over the below lying area.

The tour was fantastic. Our guide was lovely and spoke very good English. We found out we were thr only two people on the tour so we had a private day tour at Ephesus which was incredible. Truly good value for money and the lunch was scrumptious!! Thank you for an awesome day!
