Ephesus Tour From Bodrum

Ephesus Tour from Bodrum

When in Bodrum, don’t miss the chance to visit Turkey’s most popular and well-preserved ancient city, Ephesus. Opting for an Ephesus Tour from Bodrum is the easiest way to explore this historical gem.

Ephesus was a bustling trade hub and port city that held significant sway in the ancient world. It was also an important religious center in early Christianity, and mentioned in the Book of Revelations as one of the seven churches. Today, surrounded by Artemis Temple and Virgin Mary’s House, Ephesus is one of the top tourist destinations in Turkey.

As part of the tour, you’ll also get to visit Mother Mary’s House. This is believed to be the place where Mary spent her final years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Perched on top of a mountain and overlooking Ephesus Antique City and Artemis Temple, it’s a significant pilgrimage site for Christians and a sacred spot for the Muslim population.

Another must-visit site is the Temple of Artemis, which was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. It stands adjacent to Ephesus Antique City, and offers a unique glimpse into three different sanctuaries belonging to Islam, Christianity, and Paganism.
