1. The House of Virgin Mary

Located on Mt. Koressos near Ephesus, this Catholic shrine is believed to be the final residence of Mary, the mother of Jesus. The site gained prominence after the reported visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich in the 19th century. Recognized as a place of pilgrimage, it has been visited and blessed by Popes including John Paul II and Benedict XVI.

2. Ephesus Ancient City

Ephesus, one of the most significant and best-preserved ancient cities in the world, was a major center of culture, commerce, and religion throughout the Greek and Roman periods. As you walk through its marble-paved streets, you'll explore the impressive remains of monumental structures, public spaces, and historical landmarks that reflect the city's importance in antiquity and its key role in the early spread of Christianity. The site offers a fascinating glimpse into life in a classical metropolis that once thrived as a vital port city.
