Itinerary

  • Ancient City of Ephesus

    Ephesus, located in modern-day Turkey, is one of the most well-preserved ancient cities in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was an important city in classical antiquity, serving as a major port and trade center in the Roman Empire. History: Ephesus was founded by the Ionian Greeks in the 10th century BCE and flourished as an important city during the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods. It was a center of trade, religion, and culture, and boasted prominent structures such as the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The city was also visited by the Apostle Paul, who wrote one of his famous letters to the Ephesians in the Bible. Ephesus is renowned for its well-preserved ruins, which offer a glimpse into the ancient city's grandeur. Some of the must-visit attractions include - The Library of Celsus - The Great Theatre - The Temple of Artemis - The Terrace Houses - The Ancient Agora

  • State Agora

    The Commercial (Lower) Agora of Ephesus was linked to the harbour by the Arcadiane, and stood close to its junction with the Marble Street, just to the south-west of the theatre. With an almost square plan, the Tetragonos Agora - whose ancient name, meaning the Square Market, has been confirmed by the inscriptions - was built for commercial purposes. It had impressive dimensions as its sides were 111 meters long. The Commercial Agora had three main gates, enabling access from the north onto Harbour Street, the south-east, and the west. The most impressive and best-preserved of these gates is the so-called Gate of Mazaeus and Mithridates on the south-eastern side, very close to the Celsus Library.

  • Meryemana (The Virgin Mary's House)

    The House of the Virgin Mary, also known as Meryemana in Turkish, is a significant religious site located in Turkey. It is traditionally believed to be the house where the Virgin Mary spent her final years. This belief is primarily based on the visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich, a German nun, in the 19th century, which led to the discovery of the site. The Catholic Church has recognized the site as a place of pilgrimage, and it attracts visitors from around the world, both Christian and non-Christian. The House of the Virgin Mary has become an important pilgrimage site for Christians, particularly Catholics, who believe that Mary was taken to this house by Saint John after the death of Jesus. While the historical authenticity of the site is debated, it remains a place of deep spiritual significance for many. Visitors can explore the house, attend religious services, and take in the peaceful atmosphere of the surrounding hillsides.

They are used in various aspects of daily life, from prayer rugs to decorative items in homes and even as dowry items for brides.
