Description

Discover the best of Ephesus on a private shore excursion from the cruise port. Explore the ruins of Ephesus, the House of the Virgin Mary, and the Temple of Artemis with a local guide.
Begin your private shore excursion with a pickup from the cruise port. Meet your guide and board a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan. Head to the UNESCO-listed ruins of Ephesus, one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world.

Explore the ruins at your own pace, taking in highlights like the Library of Celsus, the Great Theater, and the Temple of Hadrian. Learn about the history of Ephesus from your guide and imagine what life was like in this bustling city during its heyday.

Next, visit the House of the Virgin Mary, a sacred site believed to be the final home of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Take a moment to reflect in this peaceful setting and admire the simple stone house.

Continue to the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Although only a few columns remain, your guide will help you envision the grandeur of this once-magnificent temple.

Throughout the day, enjoy a flexible itinerary that can be customized to suit your interests. Add a visit to the Terrace Houses, where you can see the beautifully preserved homes of Ephesus’s wealthiest residents, or stop for an authentic Turkish lunch at a local restaurant.
