You will be picked up from your hotel in Izmir, Izmir airport, or Izmir cruise port at approximately 8:00 am and transferred to Ephesus. Upon arrival, you will be met by your professional guide and begin exploring the stunning ruins of this ancient city.
Your tour begins with a walk along Curetes Street, the main avenue of Efeso, leading you to some of its most remarkable sites. One of the first stops is the Tempio di Adriano, una struttura splendidamente conservata con intricati rilievi che raffigurano i miti di fondazione della città. Proseguendo, raggiungerete l'imponente Grande Teatro, which could seat up to 25,000 people and is still known for its acoustics. Here, your guide will share stories about the theater’s role in hosting gatherings, dramas, and even gladiatorial contests.
Successivamente vedrai il Fontana di Traiano, where you can admire its detailed carvings and learn about its significance in the city’s water supply system.
After exploring these architectural wonders, you will visit the Biblioteca di Celso, one of the most magnificent structures of Roman Ephesus, which once housed thousands of scrolls.
A delicious lunch at a local restaurant will provide a welcome break, allowing you to enjoy authentic Turkish cuisine.
Nel pomeriggio, il tour prosegue verso il Casa della Vergine Maria, a sacred site nestled on a hillside. This modest stone house is believed to be the place where Mary, mother of Jesus, spent her final years. It remains a pilgrimage site and a place for quiet reflection.
Il viaggio ti porta quindi al Tempio di Artemide. Although only a few columns remain, this once-grand temple was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and a powerful symbol of the city’s importance in ancient times.
La tua fermata finale sarà la Moschea di Isa Bey, a stunning example of Seljuk architecture from the 14th century, with beautiful courtyards and intricate tile work that reflect the blend of cultures in the region.
After a full day of exploring these ancient wonders, you will return to Izmir, where you will be dropped off at your hotel around 5:00 pm.
