• Port Kusadasi, Turkey - Coordinating with the ship’s arrival time, the guide will meet travelers at the Kusadasi Cruise Port to commence the journey to the first destination on the itinerary.
• Meryemana (The Virgin Mary’s House) - Situated 6 km north of the Ephesus ruins, the House of the Virgin Mary is believed to be where Mary spent her final days. A church was constructed here in the 6th century AD on the remains of a 1st-century house, and it is acknowledged by the Church as her last residence.
• The Temple of Artemis - Known as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis was celebrated for its impressive scale and sacred importance. Dedicated to the goddess Artemis, it established Ephesus as a significant pilgrimage site in ancient times. The temple boasted 127 Ionic columns, each 19 meters high, and also served as one of the earliest known banks in the ancient world.
• Ancient City of Ephesus - The Ancient City of Ephesus is an archaeological gem and the most well-preserved classical city in the Eastern Mediterranean. In the 1st century AD, it was the world’s second-largest city after Rome, with a population of over 250,000. Ideally positioned at the center of the ancient world, Ephesus was a crucial gateway between East and West, thanks to its expansive harbor and bustling trade.

Beyond being a commercial center, Ephesus was rich in romance—it was famously the honeymoon spot for Mark Antony and Cleopatra. The city housed one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the splendid Temple of Artemis.

Today, Ephesus is so well preserved that walking through its ancient streets feels like traveling back in time. Visitors can admire grand structures like the Library of Celsus, the third-largest library of the ancient world, and the Great Theatre—the largest Roman theatre in Asia Minor. Exploring Ephesus is truly a historical journey.
