With stunning visuals, light mapping, and atmospheric storytelling, you’ll walk through the spiritual and architectural legacy of Ephesus like never before.
- Selcuk: Enjoy a delicious local meal at a traditional carpet weaving school, where you'll experience authentic regional cuisine. While you’re there, you can learn about the ancient art of carpet weaving, and if you're interested, there’s the opportunity to purchase a piece directly from the school, without the pressure of typical sales tactics.
- Meryemana (The Virgin Mary's House): Visit the peaceful and spiritual site believed to be the final home of the Virgin Mary, nestled in the hills above Ephesus.
- The Temple of Artemis: The Temple of Artemis is known as one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. It has been built in the areas of Ephesus on a flat area, which over the centuries has turned into a swamp.
