Located in the Aladağ Mountains, just 5 miles from Ephesus, the House of the Virgin Mary is a significant pilgrimage site. According to tradition, Mary came to Ephesus with St. John in 37 A.D. and lived there until her death in 48 A.D. The site was recognized as a place of pilgrimage by the Archbishop of Kusadasi in 1892, following the discovery of the house. On July 26, 1967, Pope Paul VI visited and prayed at this sacred location, cementing its importance for visitors from around the world.

The Grotto of the Seven Sleepers is a legendary cave near Ephesus, believed to be the refuge of seven Christian youths who miraculously slept for centuries to escape persecution. Today, visitors can explore the cave and nearby ruins, which offer a peaceful atmosphere and a fascinating glimpse into early Christian history.

Our tours from Kusadasi include a complimentary lunch with authentic Turkish food, a highlight for many of our guests. Afterward, we visit a Turkish handicrafts cooperative, where you can explore local culture and crafts. Entrance is free, and there is no obligation to buy anything—just enjoy this unique cultural experience.

Claros (Klaros) was an ancient Greek sanctuary near İzmir, dedicated to Apollo. Famous for its oracle, it was one of the most important prophecy centers of the ancient world—comparable to Delphi. Visitors came from across the Mediterranean to seek guidance from Apollo through sacred rituals performed by priests in an underground chamber. Today, Claros offers a peaceful archaeological site featuring a temple, sacred spring, and impressive columns.
