Ephesus & Virgin Mary Tours

Approx : 4 hours
 Your scenic motorcoach ride travels north from the port of Kusadasi past the Byzantine fortress in Selcuk, the ruins of the Temple of Artemis - one of the seven wonders of antiquity - and the magnificent remains of Basilica Of St. John. From your window, great vistas of the valley can be seen as you travel a long and winding road to the picturesque Solmissos Mountains. The House of Virgin Mary is considered by the Vatican to be final resting place of the Virgin Mary, and a small shrine dedicated to St. Mary was found in the ruins when the house was first discovered. The shrine, surrounded by lush foliage, is still cared for by the Kazarist Fathers, and Mass is celebrated at this spot every day. Many do not know that the Virgin Mary lived the last years of her life in Turkey in a small cottage near Ephesus.
