- Ancient City of Ephesus - Ancient Ephesus is an archaeological treasure and the best-preserved classical city in the Eastern Mediterranean. In the 1st century AD, Ephesus was the second-largest city in the world after Rome, with over 250,000 residents. It was a central hub of the known world, acting as a gateway between the East and the West. With its vast harbor, it was also a major trading center in antiquity. Ephesus was not only a wealthy commercial city but also an impressive one, where even Mark Antony and Cleopatra spent their honeymoon. It is home to one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Temple of Artemis. Ephesus is so well-preserved that walking through its ancient streets among beautiful monuments, such as the third-largest library of the ancient world or the largest Roman theater on the Asian continent, feels like traveling back in time.
- The Temple of Artemis - Recognized as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Temple of Artemis was dedicated to the goddess of the hunt. Today, only the foundation and one column remain of this temple, which once measured 425 feet long and 220 feet wide. Paul’s successful ministry in this city was seen as a threat to this temple. The city reached its Golden Age and became a cultural and artistic model for the ancient world.
- Izmir Port - At the conclusion of the tour, return to the departure point. This marks the end of the service.
