About this tour
This Ephesus day trip from Istanbul takes guests to the ancient Ephesus, a historic area in Turkey that is home to the ruins of some of the most famous Greek, Roman, and Byzantine civilizations.
Discover a UNESCO World Heritage archaeological site, also a pilgrimage as it houses the House of the Virgin Mary. Experience one of Turkey’s most visited and popular tourist destinations and historical sites during a day trip to Ephesus (situated in the Aegean Izmir region, western Turkey), with its ancient Greek and Roman port-city, the grand Amphitheatre where St. Paul once preached, the Library of Celsus, the Temple of Hadrian, and the world renowned House of the Virgin Mary, that is believed to be the location of Mary’s last home.
A day trip from Istanbul is a great way to experience the ancient city of Ephesus, especially if you are limited on time.
