Day Trip Details
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Dalaman at the indicated time and drive northwest to the site of Ephesus. After about four hours, we will arrive at our destination and begin a guided tour of one of the best-preserved Greco-Roman cities in Turkey.
Making our way through Ephesus, we'll admire impressive monuments such as the Temple of Hadrian, built in honor of the deified Roman emperor, and the Library of Celsus, one of the most luxurious bibliographic archives of the Roman Empire in the Eastern Mediterranean.
We'll then continue by visiting the Roman Theater, one of the grandest and most important areas of the site. The massive theater, built in the shape of a horseshoe with many elements from the Hellenistic period, had a capacity for 25,000 people!
After exploring Ephesus, we'll go to a local restaurant to refuel with a delicious Turkish meal. With our batteries recharged, the group will travel to Isa Bey Mosque, one of the oldest architectural works remaining from the Anatolian beyliks.
The last stop on our tour will be a visit to the House of the Virgin Mary, the place where the apostle St. John took the mother of Christ after the crucifixion of Jesus.
At the end of the tour, you'll be taken back to your hotel after about 12 hours in total.
