• Ancient City of Ephesus - Ephesus holds significant importance in Christian history as it is believed to be the final home of Mother Mary. In the latter half of the first century, Christians faced severe persecution under Roman rule. Tradition states that after Jesus’ crucifixion, St. John brought Mother Mary to Ephesus to escape persecution.
• Meryemana (The Virgin Mary’s House) - Located 6 km (3.7 mi) from Ephesus, the House of the Virgin Mary is nestled among pine and olive trees. The stone structure is small and modest. Outside, there is a “wishing wall” where pilgrims tie their personal intentions on paper or fabric. Nearby, a water source is believed to have miraculous healing powers. The shrine has been visited by several popes.
• The Temple of Artemis - The final historical site on your tour is the Temple of Artemis (Diana), one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
