Full Day Private Ephesus & Sirince Village Tour From İzmir
Overview
Start your journey from visiting an Ancient City Ephesus, one of the most magnificent and best-preserved archaeological sites in the world. See the Odeon Theatre, the Market Basilica, Curetes Street, the Baths, the Celsus Library, Marble Street and the Great Theatre. The theatre has a seating capacity of 24,000 people, and they still organise concerts here.
Climb up high to the mountains to see the House of Virgin Mary which is a Catholic shrine and was attended by different Popes. You have a chance to pray in a chapel which was actually the Mary's house just opposite to the large statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Continuing your way to the outside, you will see a place to put a candle.
Following stairs you will find yourself next to the wellsprings which is believed to have a holy water. You can take some fresh water to your bottle or just refresh at the hot day
Next, you will see a wall of whishes. Write your whish on the peace of paper and leave there and it will definitely come true.
Next stop of the tour is the village of Sirince with its traditional Turkish village life; famous with wine houses, olive oils, handicrafts, organic vegetables and fruits. The town has a synthesis of Turk-Greek culture, and we get to visit an Orthodox Church and a mosque. In the narrow streets of the village, you will find women, selling handicrafts of all kinds, olive oil. Another attraction of Sirince is its fruit wine: try its taste in small cafes.
