We Start Early in the Morning.
After arriving in Izmir with the first light of dawn, you begin your day with a delightful exploration immersed in history and nature. As you head towards Ephesus, you leave behind the city crowds and pass through peaceful roads lined with olive trees, reaching the House of the Virgin Mary after approximately 25 minutes of travel. According to Christian tradition, after Jesus was crucified, the Virgin Mary was brought to Ephesus by the Apostle John and spent her final years on these tranquil hills. Narratives about John's arrival in Ephesus and Jesus entrusting his mother to him further enhance the significance of this sacred site.
Following your visit to the House of the Virgin Mary, you turn your route toward the Ancient City of Ephesus and begin your impressive walking tour. As you walk along stone-paved streets, past majestic columns and architectural details that have survived from the past to the present, you have the opportunity to closely observe traces of daily life in the ancient world. The Odeon, Trajan's Fountain, Scholastica Baths, Temple of Hadrian, and the elegant facade of the Library of Celsus are among the highlights of the tour. The Great Theatre, where Saint Paul addressed the public, stands out as one of the largest performance venues of antiquity with its capacity of approximately 24,000 people. The Arcadian Way, said to have been used by Mark Antony and Cleopatra during ceremonial processions, adds a grand atmosphere to the Ephesus tour.
The visit to the Ephesus Open-Air Museum lasts approximately 2 hours. After the lunch break, you set off to see the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Built in honor of Artemis, who is associated with hunting, nature, and fertility, this magnificent structure became one of the most remarkable marble works of its time, with dimensions approximately four times larger than the Parthenon in Greece. In addition to religious ceremonies, the temple served as a center for commercial activities, gradually accumulating great economic power and earning the title of one of the first banks in history.
At the end of this special day filled with history, culture, and discovery, you are transferred to your hotel in Kuşadası, where you rest in your comfortable room and spend the night.
A pleasant free day awaits you to explore Kuşadası at your own pace. You can plan your day as you wish, enjoy a peaceful walk along the beach, go shopping in local shops, or savor your coffee with a sea view at an elegant café.
At the end of the day, a comfortable transfer will be arranged for you to Izmir Airport for your return flight.

My wife and I had an unforgettable honeymoon. The hot air balloon was a moment that brought tears to our eyes.
A super romantic program for honeymoon. The room decoration was a surprise — we loved it.
We chose this for our honeymoon and it was the right decision. Cave hotel, balloon ride and private dinners — everything was flawless.
