First visiting place is Ephesus; an archaeological treasure and the best-preserved classical city in the Eastern Mediterranean. During the 1C AD, Ephesus was the second-largest city on the planet after Rome with more than 250,000 citizens. It was in the center of the known world and played the role of a gateway between the East and the West. With its giant harbor, it was also the center of trading in antiquity. It was not only a rich commercial city but also an impressive city that even Mark Anthony and Cleopatra spent their honeymoon in Ephesus. It is also home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis. Ephesus is so well-preserved that walking on the ancient streets among the beautiful monuments, such as the third-largest library of the ancient world or the largest Roman theatre on the Asian continent, gives you the feeling of a time traveler.
Next, visit The House of Virgin Mary; located 6 km to the north of the ruins of Ephesus, a church was built from the 6C AD on top of the foundations of a house from the 1C AD, and it is declared by the church to be the final house where Mary spent her last days. It is also believed that the Assumption took place there on the 15th of August.
After lunch, continue to The Temple of Artemis. The Temple of Artemis, or Artemision, was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Its ancient cult dedicated to Artemis was very famous in antiquity and made Ephesus a much-visited pilgrimage place. There were a total of 127 ionic columns with a height of 19m. The temple is also considered to be the earliest bank of the ancient world.
