• Meryemana (The Virgin Mary’s House) - The House of the Virgin Mary is believed to be where Mary spent her final days. It is thought she arrived in the area with Saint John.

• Ancient City of Ephesus - Ephesus offers a remarkable insight into the cultural traditions of the Hellenistic, Roman Imperial, and early Christian eras.

• The Temple of Artemis - After lunch, the tour continues with a visit to the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. This location offers an excellent opportunity to photograph the Church of St. John and the Mosque of Isa Bey from the best vantage point.
