Cuando entre por la puerta de la calle del Gimnasio ya estaba emocionado. Estaba en Efeso, una ciudad mítica, donde fue sitio de peregrinación por su templo a la Diosa Artemisa, donde se cree que huyó y murió la Virgen María (aunque los Ortodoxos dicen que murió en Jerusalem) y desde donde San Juan empezó a predicar la palabra de Cristo, vamos historia por todos los lados; el Gran Teatro es exuberante, la calle del Puerto, la Vía Marmórea, la calle de los Curetas, las casas de la Colina, la casa del Amor, la Librería de Celsius, las dos Agoras, el Odeón, la Basílica, tanto, tanto, tanto y tan bueno. El hacer algo productivo para la sensibilidad, tu corazón y la cultura no tiene precio y como ejemplo las ruinas de una ciudad mítica como es Efeso.
A cinco km tienes la casa donde se cree que vivió y murió la virgen María (realmente un sitio con una energía especial), según vas hacía Selcuk tienes un camino que te lleva a la Basílica de los Siete durmientes (otro sitio mítico y milagrero cristiano, aunque se demostró después el porque de “los siete durmientes”) y aconsejo acercarse a Selcuk, un castillo cruzado domina la ciudad, está la Mezquita de Isa Bey y las cuatro piedras que fuera del impresionante templo de Artemisa, razón por la que Efeso era sitio de peregrinación, una de las siete maravillas del mundo antiguo y que ardió el día que nació Alejandro Magno, y la tumba de San Juan, y la iglesia de San Juan . Me hubiera gustado dar una vuelta por la ciudad, pero las piernas ya no estaban para mas. Desde luego una experiencia única e irrepetible. los recomiendo de todo corazon son muy buenos en lo que hacen es una linda y exitante experiencia que creo que todos tenemos que vivir y ver en la vida….
Great private tour. Our guide Koksal was terrific and we were oicked up and dropped off at the port of Kusadasi. Definitely recommend.
Instead of taking the ships tour we booked a private tour and it was a great day.
We all love a old little beautiful village, ephesus and virgin marys house was absolutely fabulous.
We all had a great time, plenty to see and do. What a wonderful day, thank you so much.
a very enjoyable half day,would not hesitate to recommend this tour.
Our day went perfectly, our guide was open and flexible to letting us tour at our own pace and we always seemed at least two steps ahead of the large tour groups..
We had a brilliant day. Our guides were more than helpful and Ephesus and the Mary house was beautiful. I personally enjoyed most seeing the little village Sirince.The transport was well arranged and arrived in perfect time. The guides’ considerations were all for our benefit and I cannot speak too highly of their input to our enjoyment of the day. I could not recommend this trip too highly to anyone else considering it, it was most enjoyable but please do consider the full day rather than the halfday ephesus tour as you would miss out on so much.
Great guides. Great information! Don’t take the cruise line tours they are so expensive!
We enjoyed the whole trip and would do it again. Thanks
