Green Mosque and Tomb.

Ephesus- If you’ve ever heard the words ¨an epistle to theEphesians¨, now is your chance to sit in the theatre where St. Paul preached.

Walkalong colonnaded streets imagining them crowded with people visiting the shops
and taverns or simply strolling in the shade. Ephesus was one of the greatest cities of antiquity with a population approaching100,000 and its vast Temple of Artemis was numbered among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The city housed everything that was necessary for
civilization to flourish, education, politics, entertainment, sport, and the good life
in general.

Library Celsus, bathhouses, a gymnasium and luxurious mansions, decorated with mosaics and frescoes rivaling those of Pompeii.

Ephesus is among the best preserved classical cities of the Mediterranean, and the
perfect place to get a feeling for what life was like in Roman times.

House of Virgin Mary where it is believed that she spent the last years of her life.
