• Meryemana (The Virgin Mary’s House) - The second stop is the revered House of the Virgin Mary, located in the tranquil Aladağ Mountains, just five miles from ancient Ephesus.

Recognized as a sacred site, it was declared a pilgrimage destination by the Archbishop of Izmir in 1892. Since then, it has attracted visitors from around the globe, including Pope Paul VI, who visited to pray on July 26, 1967.
