Overview
The meeting point for this tour will be at Kusadasi cruise port, where your guide will greet you ready to commence your tour.
The House of the Virgin Mary is a Christian shrine in the vicinity of Ephesus. After the crucifixion of Jesus, apostles were subject to torture, and St. John came to stay at Ephesus and preach the word of God. Some believe that the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, was taken to this stone house by Saint John following the crucifixion of Jesus. Roman Catholics believe that she lived there until her assumption into Heaven; other denominations of Christians recognize this spot as her burial place.
Afterward, visit the Basilica of St. John, built in the 6th century to house St. Johns tomb chamber. It is believed that St. John spent his last years in the region around Ephesus and, 300 years after his death, a small chapel was constructed over his grave. During the reign of Emperor Justinian, the small chapel was changed into a marvelous basilica.
At the end of the tour you will be taken back to Kusadasi cruise port in plenty of time for your cruise ships departure.
