Highlights

Ancient City of Ephesus - Ephesus is one of the best-preserved Greco-Roman ancient cities in the world, renowned for the Odeon where music concerts were held; the Domitian Temple, one of the first temples dedicated to a human; the Celcius Library, the third-largest library of ancient times; the Amphitheatre, one of the largest in the world with a capacity of 24,000 people where St. Paul preached; Roman Baths; Fountains; Temples; Agora; Love House; and Public Toilets. Consider us your Ephesus map!
Meryemana (The Virgin Mary’s House) - The House of Virgin Mary is a pilgrimage center for Christians, believed to be where Virgin Mary spent her last days and died. Pope Paul VI visited the shrine in 1967 and ‘unofficially’ confirmed its authenticity. Pope John Paul II visited in 1979, and Pope Benedict XVI in 2006. They left gifts at the shrine, which you can see without needing an Ephesus map because we are here for you.
The Temple of Artemis - One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Artemis Temple of Ephesus symbolized the city’s wealth and influence and played a central role in its religious and cultural life. Its destruction by fire in the 4th century BC was a tragic loss, but its grandeur and significance are still remembered today. It is outside the Ephesus map zone.
Kusadasi Bazaar - At the Kusadasi or Selcuk Bazaar, you can explore local cultural items. If you’re not interested, you’ll still have time to discover the town. When you check the Ephesus map, there’s a good chance you’ll find new cultural insights.
Kusadasi - Kusadasi Castle, also known as Pigeon Island, is located next to the port. You can see it from your boat or visit it after disembarking. It is outside the Ephesus map zone!
