WHAT YOU VISIT
Ephesus - From Kusadasi, you travel to House of Virgin Mary located in
Bulbul Mountain passing the St. John's Basilica, the Byzantine fortress
at Selcuk and the ruins of the Temple of Artemis. After the visit head
for the upper gate of Ephesus for the touring of this ancient city and
the Terrace Houses. Following the lunch break, depart for The Basilica
of St. John and The Ephesus Museum. By the end of touring, return to
Kusadasi.
Basilica of St. John Built by the Emperor Justinian over the tomb of St.
John the Apostle, the Basilica, now in ruins, once rivaled St. Sophia in
size. One can still see graceful columns, mosaics and frescoes.
Ephesus Museum This small museum in Selcuk boasts an incredible
collection of Hellenistic and Roman statues, carved relief's and
artifacts unearthed from the ruins of Ephesus.
House of Virgin Mary The Vatican has recognized this small house in the
Solmissos Mountains as the final resting place of the Virgin Mary. A
small shrine dedicated to St. Mary was found when the ruins of the house
were first discovered.
The Terrace Houses Ephesus Ephesus Terrace Houses are located on the
slopes of Bulbul Mountain, opposite the Hadrian Temple.
Also called as "the houses of rich", these houses were for the important
and wealthy people of Ephesus, as only rich people could afford such
houses.
Did you know that fact about Ephesus?
But did you know about the place outside of Ephesus called garbage
heap (trash heap)? According to the historical records unwanted babies -
mostly girls -due to the belief to the Artemis goddess (Artemis was the
goddess of fertility both giving blessings to woman willing to have a
child and also protecting from the child birth, as every third woman was
likely to die during the child birth) were left in the isolated area to
die. The most healthiest of them were picked up by the slave traders and
used to be slaves or prostitutes.
