Temple of Artemis, Ephesus
The ancient city of Ephesus was an important center for early Christianity. In the book of Revelation, Ephesus was one of the seven churches addressed by Christ in a vision. It is here that you will find the Temple of Artemis, considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Your guide will also show you the Great Theatre, the Library of Celsus and many temples.
After enjoying some authentic Turkish cuisine at lunch, you will visit the House of the Virgin Mary, where she spent the last days of her life. Authenticated by Pope Paul VI in 1967, the cottage is a place of pilgrimage for many believers.

Very nice tour. I will recommend it to everyone. Everyone was nice and kind and the guide was very knowledgeable. He grew up in the area and as a child played on the ruins before it was made into what it was today --- very good. A driver picked me up in Izmir --- very good.
