- Meryemana (The Virgin Mary’s House) - The first destination is the House of Virgin Mary, situated in the Aladag Mountains, approximately 5 miles from Ephesus. Tradition holds that Mary arrived in Ephesus with St. John in 37 A.D. and resided there until her passing in 48 A.D.

- The Temple of Artemis - Another stop is the Temple of Artemis, formerly one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Although only a few columns and scattered ruins remain, this sacred site retains immense historical and cultural importance. Dedicated to Artemis, the ancient Greek goddess of the hunt and fertility, the temple was once among the largest and most magnificent structures of the ancient world.
