House of the Virgin Mary: Step into a peaceful sanctuary hidden in the hills near Ephesus. The House of the Virgin Mary is believed to be where Mary spent her final years, brought to Ephesus by St John after the crucifixion.

Surrounded by pine forest, the site offers both spiritual reflection and historical wonder.

Ancienne ville d'Éphèse
Echoes of a Lost Empire: Walk the marble streets of Ephesus, one of the greatest cities of the ancient world. Once a powerful port in the Ionian League, this UNESCO-listed site reveals the grandeur of Greco-Roman life. See the Library of Celsus, built to honor a Roman governor, and marvel at the Temple of Hadrian. Stand in the vast Grand Theater, where 24,000 once gathered to hear orators and watch performances. Every stone tells a story of empire, art, and belief.

Maisons mitoyennes d'Éphèse
Ephesus Terrace Houses: Hidden behind protective glass, the Terrace Houses reveal the private lives of Ephesus’ elite. Built into the slope of Pion Mountain, these multi-level homes were richly decorated with colorful frescoes and intricate mosaics. As you climb the steps, you’ll walk through ancient dining rooms, baths, and courtyards, preserved with stunning detail. This rare glimpse into Roman domestic life is available only on select tour options.

Le temple d'Artémis
Legacy of a Goddess: Our final stop is the Temple of Artemis, once one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Though only a single column remains today, the site still carries the weight of its former glory. Here stood a vast sanctuary dedicated to the goddess of the hunt, moon, and nature. Imagine the temple as it was, a beacon of beauty and faith, drawing pilgrims from across the ancient world.
