Visit
the House of Virgin Mary, the small house where

popes and millions of pilgrims. The guests will be
visiting the largest archaeological site in the world; Ephesus.
Unmatched by any archeological site anywhere in terms of
sheer magnitude, Ephesus appeals to every visitor, whether
serious or casual. The roots of this impressive site goes
back to the 13th century B.C. The surviving
ruins of Ephesus belong to the Roman Imperial Period.There
is an impressive amphitheater big enough to hold 24,000
people and a well preserved and restored bibliotheque
called the Library of Celsus. |

The garden is very charming with pine trees and grass all

and traditional Turkish Pide (kind of pizza) will be

Basilica of St. John near Selcuk. It is believed

his life and is buried under the Basilica.

DAY DIDYMA, MILETUS & PRIENE TOUR (CODE
DIZ155)
Full
day tour (Lunch Inc.)

50
US$
|

Visit
Didyma; the most impressive single monument on the west
coast of Ionia, is the Temple of Apollo at Didyma. Here, one can
see the famous stone relief Head of Medusa. Didyma, like Claros,
was never a city in its own right, but a Miletian sanctuary of
Apollo inhabited only by priests and the suppliants who came to
consult the famous oracle there. Visit Priene has by far
the most spectacular site of any of the ancient Ionian cities,
standing on a narrow shelf of hillside high above the Meander
Valley, with the mighty St. Mycale presiding majestically above
the ruins. It is hard to believe now, that Priene was once an
active port on the coast. Visit
Miletos; although Ephesus is more famous, Miletos was by
far the greatest of the Ionian cities, as measured by its
enormous contribution of the development of Greek Civilization.
It was the principal port and the richest emporium on the Aegean
coast. During the 7th and 8th centuries
BC, Miletos established nearly one hundred colonies.
