• Ancient City of Ephesus - Ephesus was the second-largest city in the Roman Empire, with a population exceeding 250,000 in the 1st century BC. It was second only to Rome and was also a significant harbor city. Remarkably, this vast city was constructed entirely of marble. Did you know Ephesus boasted the largest amphitheater in the ancient world, seating over 25,000 people? Visitors can also explore the Goddess Nike, a local pharmacy, Hadrian Gate, the Library of Celsus (the third-largest library), Marble Street, and Harbour Street.
• Meryemana (The Virgin Mary’s House) - The House of the Virgin Mary is believed by many to be where Mary, the mother of Jesus, spent her final years. She is thought to have arrived in Ephesus with St. John and lived there from 37-45 CE until her Assumption or Dormition.
• Ephesus Terrace Houses - The Terraced Houses, located on the hill opposite the Hadrian Temple, are also known as “the houses of the rich.” They are significant because they provide insight into family life during the Roman period. These houses were built according to the Hippodamian plan, where roads intersected at right angles.
• The Basilica of Saint John - The Basilica of St. John in Ephesus was constructed by Justinian I in the 6th century. It is situated over what is believed to be the burial site of John the Apostle and was modeled after the now-lost Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople.
• The Temple of Artemis - The Temple of Artemis, also known as the Temple of Diana, was a Greek temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis. Located in Ephesus, it was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
• Sirince Koyu - Sirince Village, a charming old Greek Orthodox village 12 km from Ephesus, was once called Cirkince (Ugly). The residents named it so to deter outsiders and keep the village’s beauty to themselves. However, over time, visitors realized the village was far from ugly and renamed it Sirince (Pretty). Situated atop a mountain, the village offers breathtaking views of vineyards and peach trees along the way.
