According to popular belief, St John the Evangelist brought Mary to Ephesus after the crucifixion of Jesus, and she lived here until her death. Next, it's time to head to the ancient city of Ephesus, where a journey through history awaits. Your guide will lead you around the sprawling archaeological site and point out its highlights while regaling you with fascinating historic tales of this once-powerful city.You'll stroll down marble-paved streets where mosaics and frescoes still decorate the walls of ancient Roman houses, gaze at the Temples of Artemis and Hadrian, and be blown away by the Library of Celsus. Esra says, ‘I love to imagine the Great Theatre filled with 25,000 spectators. They would come to watch gladiator clashes, political rallies and performances in this theatre, a hub of city life. You can almost hear the roar of the crowd.'

Turkey

Things to do in Izmir

Izmir, Turkey's third largest city, is bursting with culture and history. An important Aegean port for centuries. The city bears influences from the Greeks, Jews, Levantines, Armenians and Turks who have lived there over the centuries. It's a wonderful lively place to visit, and also ideal for branching out and exploring Ephesus and Pergamon, two ancient sites. The cuisine reflects its multicultural history, and the city boasts a plethora of restaurants where you can sample the Izmire kitchen at its finest. The seafront Kordon is the perfect place for a bicycle stroll, long walk or morning job. When you're here don't miss the Agora, an ancient site with excavations still underway; Kemeralti market, a bazaar dating back to the 17th century; and the Izmir Museum of History and Art which is filled with artifacts that span the centuries.
