Beskrivning

The hills around Kuşadası are home to two of Turkey's most popular historical sites – the ancient city of Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary. You'll be whisked through centuries of history at Ephesus, see one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and visit an important pilgrimage site on Mount Koressos – all in one afternoon. Esra, one of our expert local guides, says, "The Library of Celsus is one of the most impressive landmarks of Ephesus. It once held over 12,000 scrolls and was the third-largest library in the ancient world."

Kick off with a drive into the sun-soaked hills to visit the House of the Virgin Mary. According to popular belief, St John the Evangelist brought Mary to Ephesus after the crucifixion of Jesus, and she lived here until her death. Next, it's time to head to the ancient city of Ephesus, where a journey through history awaits. Your guide will lead you around the sprawling archaeological site and point out its highlights while regaling you with fascinating historic tales of this once-powerful city. While you're here, you'll also walk through the museum, where digital exhibits help to bring the place to life by showcasing what Ephesus could've looked like in its heyday.

You'll stroll down marble-paved streets where mosaics and frescoes still decorate the walls of ancient Roman houses, gaze at the Temples of Artemis and Hadrian, and be blown away by the Library of Celsus. Esra says "I love to imagine the Great Theatre filled with 25,000 spectators. They would come to watch gladiator clashes, political rallies and performances in this theatre, a hub of city life. You can almost hear the roar of the crowd."

    We booked this excursion with our 2year old child. We were not told that he could not enter the museum (for age 7+), therefore one of us had to miss out on this experience. We were also not told that Ephesus was not suitable with a pushchair, making it very difficult to explore in its entirety along with the guide. Our guide was also 40minutes late to the meeting point. This left us waiting in the heat without shade or somewhere to sit. And delayed dinner that evening by 1hour. Not ideal!

    The guide was great. The Ephesus Experience was amazing. We felt rushed through the Birgin Mary’s house. Transfers were delayed and seemed a bit disorganised.

    The virgin Mary house is just an excuse to get your money. Ephasus is very good and well worth the trip.

    Efez super, przewodnik gonil w samym Efezie zbyt malo czasu na na samodzielne exploroeanie obiektu. Niekoniecznie trafiony przystanek na zakupy w lokalnym sklepiku, kosztem czasu w Efezie. Uwaga do muzeum nie wejdziesz z dziecmi ponizej 7 roku, tego nie powiedza ci przed zakupem wycieczki.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Moderliga ikoner: Artemis, Jungfru Maria och en lokal borgmästare

Vandra genom tiderna och utforska den okuvliga andan hos kvinnor som har format samhället från antiken till idag, här i Turkiet. Förbered dig på att bli imponerad av den grekiska gudinnan Artemis makt och lär dig hennes historia när du passerar platsen för hennes stora tempel. På museet tillbringar du tid i galleriet som är tillägnat de lokala gudinnorna och som skildrar Artemis utveckling. Beundra två stora statyer av Artemis från Efesos och en modell av templet som det såg ut under den period då det ansågs vara ett av den antika världens sju underverk. Du får också chansen att följa i Jungfru Marias fotspår och besöka det hus som tros vara där hon bodde och slutligen dog. Inspirerad av en artikel i National Geographic kommer din guide att diskutera Marias roll som ”den mest kända kvinnan i världen” och reflektera över hur kvinnans roll är avgörande för samhället i dagens Turkiet. Njut av exklusiv tillgång till Earth School, ett initiativ som grundades av Selçuks borgmästare själv. Detta projekt understryker hennes engagemang för att vårda sitt samhälle och främja hållbart jordbruk och du får möjlighet att träffa lokalborna som är involverade. En medlem av borgmästarens team kommer att följa med dig och ge insikter i hur detta initiativ förändrar lokala liv och landskap. Sista stoppet är en restaurang med fokus på hållbarhet där du tillsammans med personalen får plocka växter på området och avnjuta en speciell lunch med mat av högsta kvalitet och vänlig service.
