Private Kusadasi - Christian Heritage Shore Excursion

What your day looks like

Today, you will be met by your private guide at Kusadasi Pier and start touring with the House of Virgin Mary, where the Virgin Mary is believed to have spent the last days of her life. In the present day, there is a charming chapel, consecrated by Pope, at the very spot where there was the House of the Virgin Mary. Afterward, you will have a short drive and reach the city of Ephesus where history and archaeology will offer you their majesty with incredible richness. You will be walking on the Marble Road that runs through the city, having various structures resting on it: Temple of Hadrian is a unique beauty with its articulate facade while the Library of Celsus has all the expression of the grandeur of “good old days” of the Roman Period. Among all the archaeological remains, the Great Theater of Ephesus bears the major Biblical importance, as it was this massive building that was the scene of an uprising set by a merchant named Demetrius against St. Paul who spent two years in Ephesus. Later in the afternoon, you will visit the Basilica of St. John. Concluding your tour, you will be returning back to Kusadasi where you may have opportunities for hunting for bargains in fine jewelry, and silverware.
