FOR CRUISERS:Biblical Ephesus, House of Mary, St John Church Tour
Overview
Walk in the Footsteps of Faith
Step into sacred history on a private Biblical Ephesus Tour, beginning from Kuşadası Port. Explore the ancient city of Ephesus, where St. Paul once preached and early Christianity took root. Visit the serene House of the Virgin Mary, believed to be her final home—a place of quiet devotion and spiritual reflection. Continue to the Basilica of Saint John, built over the apostle’s believed burial site, and take in panoramic views of Selçuk’s sacred landscape. Midday, enjoy a traditional Turkish lunch at a local carpet weaving cooperative, followed by a glimpse into the timeless art of handmade carpet-making.
