Step into one of the world’s best-preserved ancient cities with a visit to Ephesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a highlight of any trip to Turkey. Walk along marble streets once used by Roman emperors and citizens, and admire iconic landmarks such as the Library of Celsus, the Grand Theatre, and the Temple of Hadrian. With an expert guide bringing history to life, discover the stories, myths, and daily life of this remarkable ancient metropolis. Rich in culture, history, and breathtaking architecture, Ephesus offers an unforgettable experience for history lovers and first-time visitors alike.

Located within the ancient city of Ephesus Terrace Houses, the Terrace Houses offer a fascinating glimpse into the luxurious lifestyle of Ephesus’ wealthiest citizens during the Roman period. Often called the “houses of the rich,” these remarkably well-preserved residences feature intricate mosaics, colorful frescoes, advanced heating systems, and sophisticated architectural design.

Walking through this protected complex allows visitors to experience daily life in antiquity while observing ongoing archaeological work from specially designed viewing platforms—making it one of the most impressive and informative sections of Ephesus.

Set on a tranquil hillside near House of the Virgin Mary, this sacred site offers visitors a unique blend of history, spirituality, and natural beauty. Believed to be the final home of the Virgin Mary, it has become an important pilgrimage destination, welcoming travelers from all faiths.

Upon arrival, guests walk through a peaceful forest path leading to the modest stone house, where a calm and reverent atmosphere is immediately felt. Inside, the simplicity of the structure invites quiet reflection, while the surrounding nature enhances the sense of serenity.

Visitors can light a candle, collect water from the nearby spring traditionally associated with healing, and place their wishes on the prayer wall—a heartfelt tradition for many travelers. Whether visiting for religious significance or cultural interest, the experience is often described as moving, calming, and deeply memorable.

Located in the heart of Selçuk, the Temple of Artemis is one of the most famous monuments of the ancient world. Once recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the temple was dedicated to Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, fertility, and nature.

Although only a single column and scattered ruins remain today, the site still carries immense historical significance. Walking through the area allows visitors to imagine the temple’s former grandeur—once four times larger than the Parthenon—and to reflect on the city’s rich past.

Surrounded by open fields with views toward Selçuk and nearby historic landmarks, the atmosphere is quiet and contemplative. It is a brief but meaningful stop, offering great photo opportunities and a chance to connect with the legacy of one of antiquity’s greatest architectural achievements.
