The Virgin Mary’s home was interesting, but the tour of Ephesus was fascinating and very memorable. Fortunately our tour contact suggested we also visit the Terrace Homes, another great experience. Our guides were personable and gave us great insight into that period of time. We had a lunch of Turkish favorite dishes in a beautiful outdoor setting.
efeso la casa de la virgen maria fue todo maravilloso la verdad la antigua ciudad de efeso era realmente magica es magnifica la biblioteca es sorprendente es muy grande las casas terrazas fueron mis favoritas no entiendo como en esos tiempos tenian tanta imaginacion para hacer las cosas imaginence que en mi casa ni si quiera hay terrazas 🙂 hacemos un edificio y se nos cae en tres minutos y la biblioteca lleva anos y cientos de temblores y aun sigue intacta 🙂 la verdad si comenzara a explicar realmente que vi y que impresiones me lleve terminaria manana es magica la casa de la virgen maria es un lugar para descanzar el alma un lugar notable esta ubicada a un par de kilometros de efeso solamente pero esta dentro del bosque todo muy tranquilo verde nos encontramos una misa con un padre de la region como les dije todo fue muy espiritual y nos tomamos nuestro tiempo para rezar y reflexionar y el guia tuvo una pasciencia muy grande con nosotros no nos apresuro para nada era como si nosotros fueramos los duenos del tour 🙂 …. no me queda nada mas que decir que el tour privado de efeso por el dia completo queda 100 :% recomendado muchas gracias por ese maravilloso dia que nos entregaron…..

After our private tour of Ephesus, we asked our guide to take us to Sirince. After a long drive up a mountain with beautiful views, we arrived in Sirince Village. Our guide first took us to a little place for apple tea and then walked us through the oldest part of the village.
We will definitely be back to Turkey! Thank you very much we really had a great time.
I sent emails asking for prices and options to create a private tour for our shore excursion. I was able to take a standard tour and customize it and it was less than half the price of the group tour shore excursion offered by our cruise. We met our private guide and driver as soon as we got off the ship. We first started with a drive out to the Virgin Mary’s House. Along the drive, we learned some interesting facts about the region and Turkey in general. Then, we reached Mary’s house and toured the site very interesting. Then it was off to Ephesus where we had a leisurely and informative tour through the amazing ruins. Make sure to get the added tour of the terrace houses. This is the most well preserved ancient ruins ever discovered.
Then it was off to St John’s Basilica and the Temple of Artimis to finish the tour. The tour was incredible and a highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this private tour the price was very reasonable.
This was one of the best and most economical tours of our cruise and we certainly recommend that anyone visiting kusadasi consider this tour.
