WHAT YOU VISIT
Ephesus - Enter through the Magnesia Gate and begin a slow, downhill
walk with your guide into the ruins of this Roman provincial capital.
Your route takes you past the Odeon, the Celsus Library, the Temple of
Hadrian, the Fountain of Trajan and the Great Theater.
The Theater had seating for 25,000, was the site where St. Paul preached
to the Ephesians, and is used today for a local spring festival.
The 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.
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.
(includes the licensed tour guide, entrance fees, A/C transportation,
traditional lunch).
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.
For the first time in Kusadasi and Izmir, our mobility scooters are at your disposal during the daily Ephesus tours, especially for our disabled guests or those who have walking difficulties. We offer this service for the half or full day Ephesus tour to all of our customers with disabilities and elder people with walking problems. You just start the mobility scooter up and can visit the House of Virgin Mary or the Ephesus city without ant problems together with your tour guide.
The only thing you need to do is to let us know about this special request while making the tour reservation. While picking you up from Kusadasi or Izmir ports, our mobility scooter, being collapsible, will wait for you in the back of the mini van. And you will be able to make your tour with all the comfort and without getting tired! If you look at the pictures below, you will see how comfortable and safe the mobility scooter is, especially for your full day or private Ephesus tour.
