Overview

Walk with me through time as we explore the legendary city of Ephesus, one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. On this private tour, you’ll discover the grandeur of the ancient Roman Empire and feel the spiritual peace of sacred Christian landmarks.

We’ll stroll down marble streets once walked by emperors and apostles. You’ll stand in the Great Theatre where 25,000 once gathered, admire the artistry of the Baths of Varius, and gaze up at the remains of the Temple of Artemis, once a Wonder of the Ancient World.

At the House of the Virgin Mary, experience the calm and reverence of a site believed to be her final home. Along the way, I’ll share the hidden stories, legends, and details that bring these ruins to life.

With private transport, skip-the-line access, and a traditional Turkish lunch, this all-inclusive journey is perfect for travellers passionate about history, archaeology, and meaningful experiences in one unforgettable day.

Kuşadası Port Türkiye

Ancient City of Ephesus
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Walking the Heart of Ephesus: Walk through the marble streets of one of the ancient world’s grandest cities. Once home to over 250,000 people, Ephesus was second only to Rome in size and splendour. Discover the vast amphitheatre, the Library of Celsus, and sacred temples where gods and emperors once stood. A journey of history, elegance, and awe.
The Prytaneion
  • 10m
Eternal Flame of Ephesus: Step into the ceremonial heart of ancient Ephesus where sacred flames once burned endlessly. The Prytaneion hosted religious rituals, feasts, and imperial receptions under a wooden roof held by double columns. Here stood the eternal flame and the earliest Artemis statues, preserved in timeless elegance.
Fountain of Pollio
  • 5m
The Public Fountain Legacy: Step into the heart of ancient Ephesus where water once flowed freely from distant mountain springs. The Fountain of Pollio, with its grand arch and mythological sculptures, brought refreshment and life to the marble streets. Fed by aqueducts stretching over 40 kilometres, it was a public gift in the blazing Mediterranean heat. Admire the genius of Roman engineering and imagine the statue of Zeus watching over the crowds. Remnants of the Odysseus and Polyphemus group hint at myth and legacy, now preserved in the Ephesus Museum. This was more than a fountain. It was a symbol of grace, innovation and shared civic life.
Baths of Varius
  • 5m
The Healing Rituals of Ephesus: Discover the elegant rhythm of Roman daily life at the Baths of Varius. Built in the 2nd century with marble blocks, this ancient bathhouse featured cold, warm, and hot sections designed for health, ritual, and relaxation. Stroll through a 40-meter corridor lined with 5th-century mosaics that once welcomed Ephesians into moments of calm and cleanliness. Though still partially uncovered, the site whispers stories of steam, stillness, and a society that valued balance in body and spirit.
Meryemana (The Virgin Mary's House)
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Meryemana (The Virgin Mary's House): The House of Virgin Mary, is a place where according to the beliefs of many people Mary, the mother of Jesus, spent her last years of her life.
