Learn about the fantastic story behind the Ephesus remains and discover the house that Mary lived the end of her life in. At the House of the Virgin Mary, explore the building where this historical figure spent the remaining days of her life. En route to the old ruins of Ephesus, make time for a visit of the St. John Basilica.

Inside the basilica, see the 4th-century tomb where Saint John is said to be buried.
