Step back in time to the glory of the Roman Empire. This private 8-hour tour starts with a convenient pickup from your Izmir hotel or airport. Your first stop is the House of the Virgin Mary, a serene pilgrimage site believed to be Mary's final resting place.

From there, we descend into the magnificent ruins of Ancient Ephesus. You will walk the marble streets, stand before the Library of Celsus, and sit in the Great Theatre where St. Paul preached. Your expert guide will reveal the secrets of daily Roman life as you explore the temples, baths, and agoras. The day concludes with a visit to the site of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and a delicious lunch at a local restaurant before your return transfer.
