It is a city where you will enjoy learning about its history as you visit it, where the Temple of Artemis, one of the 7 wonders of the world, has been carefully preserved until today and which was the largest port city in history for many years.

The House of the Virgin Mary is located on Mount Bülbül, 9 km from Selçuk. It is known that four or six years after Jesus' death, St. John brought the Virgin Mary to Ephesus. In 1891, Lazarist priests, following a dream by German nun A. Katherine Emmerick, discovered that the house was where the Virgin Mary spent her final days. This discovery was a brand new discovery in the Christian world and shed light on the religious world. This cruciform, domed structure was later restored. Considered sacred by Muslims, the house has hosted masses held annually on August 15th since Pope Paul VI's visit in 1967, and these masses are highly popular.

The Temple of Artemis (Greek: Artemision; Latin: Artemisium), also known as the Temple of Diana, was dedicated to the goddess Artemis and was completed in Ephesus around 550 BC. The temple was constructed entirely of marble. Considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, only a few marble fragments remain today.
