Private Ephesus Tour with Biblical Sites
Explore Ephesus with St. John Basilica and House of Mary
Ephesus besides being an archeological site is an important Christian site housing the Basilica of St. John the Divine from the 6th century and the house where the Virgin Mary is supposed to have spent the last years of her life. Also, it was a major center of St. Paul's missionary journeys to Asia Minor. It is a gift to step in the footsteps of Paul, St John, and Mother Mary and see things as they did 2000 years ago. It is a kind of parallel shift.
