Itinerary

  • Meryemana (The Virgin Mary's House)

    In the House of Virgin Mary, declared holy by the Vatican, Muslims as well as Christians from all over the world pray and make offerings to fulfil their pilgrimage. In the Virgin Mary House, which is a sacred place for Christians all over the world, believers from all religions pray, and tourists make their visits. Olive trees on both sides of the path leading to the house of the Virgin Mary were planted by Lazarist monks in 1898. The statue of Mary, located at the end of the road with olives, is the gift of a religious community in Izmir and bears the date of 1867. The visit to the Virgin Mary House ends with three fountains reached by descending the stairs on the right after leaving the church. Drinkable water flows from the fountains and from the wells next to the church. Visitors do not only taste this water in the belief that it is healing but also take it with them.

  • The Temple of Artemis

    The Temple of Artemis, a religious building where the people of Ephesus presented their faith to the goddess, was also the meeting point of the people used as a market place. The Temple of Artemis, which only has its basic ruins and a marble column, is one of the most important places to see in Selcuk. The temple of Artemis, the temple of Temenos, the religious section, had the appearance of a small city with public buildings and residences. Far from the sea, surrounded by fertile land, the temple was used as a commercial enterprise. Because it was a safe place, it also functioned as a bank. What a magnificent structure the Temple of Artemis was once; It is clear from the words of the Macedonian General Antipatros, "When I saw the house of Artemis built on clouds, all other wonders lost their shine and I said," Here! Except for Olympus, the sun has never looked at such a big thing ".

    10 minutes

  • Isa Bey Mosque

    The İsa Bey Mosque, constructed in 1374–75, is one of the oldest and most impressive works of architectural art remaining from the Anatolian beyliks. The mosque is situated on the outskirts of the Ayasluğ Hills at Selçuk.

    20 minutes

  • Cave of the Seven Sleepers

    This article has been previously published as a part of the book Around Ephesus and Kusadasi: TAN Travel Guide by Izabela Miszczak. If you find yourself in the vicinity of Ephesus, you should find the ruins of the Grotto of the Seven Sleepers (tr. Yedi Uyuyanlar), located nearby. It is a Byzantine necropolis where dozens of rock-cut tombs can be seen. The grotto is one of the several places related to the legend of a group of youths who hid inside a cave and years after woke up to find the world changed.

Great Ephesus tour

Published on Sep, 2024

This is the closest tour i found to do review, Castle Travel actually arranged transport from our hotel in Pamukkale to Denizli train station and we were picked up at Selcuk train station, they were on time and started the Ephesus tour guided by Seyhan who is very knowledgeable, organized and also helped with the best spot to take photos, then continued on to the temple of Artemis, lunch was then provided which was very good, and lastly toured the house of Virgin Mary which for me is the highlight of the tour. Castle travel with the assistance of Tugra was also able to accommodate our request to drop us off to our hotel instead of their usual route of Izmir airport. They are easy to talk to and they respond quickly. They are very professional and will definitely recommend to book any tour in Turkey

Ephesus day tour with Castle Travel

Published on Mar, 2024

We visited Ephesus with Seyhan of Castle Travel in what turned out (lucky for us) to be a private tour. This was our second day with Seyhan as a guide who took us to Pamukkale the day prior. He is extremely knowledgeable and you will be lucky to get him as your guide.

Fantastic tour with Sayhan!

Published on Oct, 2023

We had a fantastic time, lead by our tour guide Sayhan. He was clearly knowledgeable with 10 years education. He is warm, kind and truly made our experience. Ephesus was an entire city and didn't realize the depth of what it was. It was amazing to imagine it as a hustling and bustling city.

OMG (Oh My Guide)

Published on Jan, 2023

Omg (Oh My Guide) An amazing person we met! He took us to see Ephesus and around Izmir. Very knowledgeable and respectful. Amazing sense of humor and sweet and friendly and made us feel like family and extremely safe. He was familiar with our names along with easy going and extremely comfortable. Would give him a 10 out of 10. Tour Guide #feyzullah Amazing Driver #salih
