Ephesus full-day Attraction

EPHESUS FROM KUSADASI (full-day)

Ephesus attracts millions every year and with its close proximity, it is the primary reason for most tourists choosing Kusadasi as their holiday resort.

While tourists from other resorts like Bodrum and Marmaris venture long bus journeys to see Ephesus, wouldn't it be a shame to miss this world-famous site when you are only minutes away from it?

Being one of the best preserved and largest ancient sites in the Mediterranean, Ephesus offers sights like the Temple of Artemis (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), the Library of Celsius, The Ancient Brothel and an impressively large Amphitheatre which has hosted stars like Elton John and Tom Jones.

Ephesus has played a great role in the history of Christianity. St. Paul stayed here for three years during which he wrote his letters to the Corinthians. Situated 9 km ahead of Ephesus is the entrancing shrine of the Virgin Mary where she came with St. John to spread Christianity and spend her last days on earth. The shrine has been declared a pilgrimage site by the Vatican.
A short visit to Isa Bey Mosque, one of the oldest and most impressive architectural works remaining from the Anatolian Civilisations, breaks the barriers between religions.
