Wonderful day

We had an amazing day with Selin. She was a great tour guide and an even better person. She knew so much about everything and we really enjoyed all the information. Ephesus was so much more than I expected!!

We went on this tour, we were met at the port by Ata the tour guide as arranged. The tour was amazing from start to finish, Ephesus was brilliant, House of Virgin Mary was a longed for experience and didn’t disappoint. Ata the guide was so informative about all three sites. After the tour we were dropped off back at the port which made it so easy. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. I will definitely use them again.

Little visited but worth it

The Basilica of St. John, near Ephesus was built by Emperor Justinian on the site of the tomb of St. John the Evangelist. The remains of the basilica are still relevant. Part of the colonnade of the atrium is still visible while the cross-shaped plan is very evident as is the apse at the end of the central nave. Interesting and worth a visit.
