Tour Overview
The ruins of Ephesus attract travelers from all over the world, therefore every year almost two million tourists visit this open-air museum. Only 20% of the city has been excavated so far; however, the site is large, well preserved, archeologically interesting and historically significant. It contains the largest collection of Roman ruins in Eastern Mediterranean. Some of the highlights of ancient Ephesus are The Library of Celsus, The Odeon, The Temple of Hadrian, The Great Theater… During this 2 days tour you can also visit Pamukkale and enjoy both history and nature, you can see the remains of Hierapolis - ancient city and healing center, and enjoy the thermal pools of Pamukkale - a natural formation of mineral springs set on massive travertine terraces.

Itinerary
Day 1 : Ephesus Tour
Location: Ephesus Archeological Site, House of Virgin Mary, Artemis Temple
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: hotel is not included
Meals Included: Lunch
You will meet your tour guide in hotel .
You will first visit the House of Virgin Mary. We usually spend 45-60 minutes there. Catholic pilgrims visit this place based on their belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken to this house by Saint John and lived there her final days, until her assumption (according to Catholic doctrine). The House of Virgin Mary was visited by several popes: Pope Paul VI in the 60`s, Pope John-Paul II in the 80`s and in 2006 by Pope Benedict XVI.
Afterwards, there is 15 minutes driving to Ephesus. During this tour we will spend around 2 hours walking in Ephesus, where you can see the main points of this sight such as The Great Theater and the Celsus Library.
After Ephesus tour you will have lunch in a local Restaurant.
After lunch we will visit the Temple of Artemis; which is one of the Seven wonders of the ancient World,
