House of Virgin Mary, is close to the peak of Bülbül Mountain, one of the hills overlooking Selçuk. After the death of Jesus Christ, Virgin Mary had gone to Ephesus with Saint John and lived here since then on until her death at the age of 101.Thus this church is an important pilgrimage center for Christians. There is also a spring believed to be healing. The Popes Paul VI and Jean Paul II visited this house. The House of Virgin Mary is declared to be sacred and an important pilgrimage spot visited by Christians from all over the world.
The Temple of Artemis, was in its day the largest in the world, eclipsing even the Parthenon at Athens, and thus earning a spot on the list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Only one of its original 127 columns remains, often as not topped by a stork’s nest; a poignant testament to the transitory nature of human achievement. Still it is a lovely tranquil place, the enormous pillar giving you some indication of the vast size of temple.

On-point experience. From hotel pickup to flight and back to hotel was handled perfectly. No issues. Our guide for the tour was knowledgeable and fun to listen to. Highly recommend. Only complaint was after lunch we were taken to two stores to purchase items. (not cool) Would have rather spent that valuable time going to Ismir or another archeological site.
Very good service, meets schedules and good service to users.
The Tour to Ephesus was spectacular, the itinerary strictly complied smoothly, excellent coordination by the agency from when we were picked up at the hotel to take us to the airport, until we were brought back. The perfect guide in Spanish very clear in his explanations, the punctual transports and with clean vehicles.

We had siya turizm berk alkin show us around Istanbul sightseeing. They seemed to speak Japanese, English and Spanish, so we asked for a Japanese guide. Mosques and other sightseeing spots did not have to wait in line for tickets, but instead they purchased them on their behalf, so we could enjoy sightseeing without waiting. He was a very personable and reliable guide. We recommend you sign up for this tour when visiting Istanbul!
