Our tour begins with a visit to Ephesus, one of the best-preserved Roman cities. This historically significant site is mentioned in the New Testament and is where St Paul preached. Within Ephesus, you will have the opportunity to visit the Terrace Houses, which once belonged to the city’s wealthiest families. These luxurious residences feature impressive mosaics, frescoes, and an early central heating system. Please note that there is an additional charge for admission to the Terrace Houses.

After exploring Ephesus, we visit the site of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

You will then have the opportunity to enjoy traditional local flavors at a selected restaurant and explore the local shops for some shopping.
