Ephesus, perhaps the most prominent of the Seven Churches, is where St. Paul wrote his letters to the Ephesians, and where St. John the Evangelist brought Virgin Mary to spend her last years. The Vatican recognizes the Virgin Mary’s house, located in the hills near Ephesus, as a shrine.
Just outside Ephesus, in Selcuk, is the Basilica of St. John where he preached and is believed to be buried.

Ephesus Ancient City
The apostle Paul first visited Ephesus on his return from missionary journey where he ‘entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews’ (Acts 18:19-21). On his second journey, Paul came to Ephesus and taught the twelve disciples who knew only the baptism of John (Acts 19:1-7) and ‘went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God’ (Acts 19:8)

The House of the Virgin Mary
We will continue our tour and visit the House of Mother Mary. Catholic pilgrims visit this place based on their belief that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken to this house by Saint John and lived there her final days, until her assumption (according to Catholic doctrine). The House of Virgin Mary was visited by several popes: Pope Paul VI in the 60`s, Pope John-Paul II in the 80`s and in 2006 by Pope Benedict XVI. It is a church today, and it is possible to join mass on Sundays.

Ulasan wisatawan
Our tour (for four people) from Kusadasi to Ephesus was everything we wanted and more. Volkan was an excellent guide. The booking process had been simple and Ertunga answered all our queries promptly. We were met at the cruise terminal and driven in a very comfortable vehicle as Volkan discussed the itinerary for the day. Everything went smoothly and we were soon beginning our tour. Volkan’s commentary and explanations were really very interesting and he was able to pace the tour very well. He allowed time for photos and he patiently answered all our questions. As we had booked a tour with a Biblical focus, we were really delighted with the information he provided, especially about the backgrounds of the seven churches from Revelation. On the way back, he took us to a small local restaurant where we had delicious fresh fish and salad, which we enjoyed very much. We also drove to a vantage point on the way back where we were able to see the remains of the Temple of Artemis, the ruins of the St John’s Basilica and a mosque, representing three different religions and periods of time. We had a visit to a ceramics gallery that was interesting as we watched the artisans at work and saw beautiful pieces of their work. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and we would highly recommend the tour and Volkan
Selim our tour guide was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and interested in what we wanted from the tour. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed our one-day tour with Umut - who gave us an informative and engaging tour of the ruins of Ephesus. To our family it was significant that we were able to hear the Biblical background on the area. Adding in geographic understanding (like the aqueducts) and the local understanding (how the church of Mary was found by speaking with the locals many years ago) - I thought Umut did a great job of guiding our family in what was important to us. He even grew up around here. Umbrellas provided the cherry on top.
Umut was a knowledgeable guide with excellent English. We toured with an eye toward Biblical Ephesus and put our own private family tour together (Ephesus ruins, Mother Mary’s home, and St John’s Basilica plus a bonus stop at the Artemis temple). Many other options. Loads of information about how Biblical writing references places here, including reading from Revelation and explaining how portions of the letters to the churches would have been understood by the original recipients. Logistical details were all smooth, excellent lunch (accommodated gluten free needs), very safe driver.
Had a great tour guide named Volcan. He’s knowledgeable and friendly about facts of the Bible as it relates to the tour. He made the tour so much more interesting even my teenagers gave him a double thumbs up. Everything describe in the details we were able to see and learned a lot more than I expected. Highly suggest this tour and tour guide.
