We offer a special Marmaris Ephesus Tour , which gives you an excellent opportunity to learn more about the ancient city site of Ephesus. On these regular tours, our professional tour guides accompany you to all the sites on our list.

Apart from visiting the ancient city site, our daily Marmaris Ephesus Tour includes a visit to the popular shrine of the House of Virgin Mary over the Bulbul Mountain (a place just 9 Km from Ephesus).
The earliest human settlements in Turkey date back to 9th century BC. Recent excavations have revealed over 300 ancient cities on the Aegean coast alone! The biggest and the most interesting one of the time is the ancient city of Ephesus, a place just 3 Km from the modern day Selcuk in Izmir Province. The city was founded by Greek colonists in the 10th century BC. Ephesus became famous by its grand building, the Temple of Artemis. This grand temple with over 127 huge and high columns supporting an immense temple roof was regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. During the Roman Period, Ephesus had grown as a massive province city with a population of over 250,000. With the recent excavations, Ephesus has become one of the largest open air museums in Turkey and a major tourist attraction. This huge archaeological site attracts close to 2 million people annually. The city has captivating sites such as The Ancient Artemis Temple, the Temple of Hadrian, the Library of Celsus, and the remains of an impressively large amphitheatre, which used to host 24,000 people at a time.
In fact, Ephesus has a good connection with Christianity as well. St Paul, a disciple of Christ, stayed in the city for nearly three consecutive years (53 to 57 AD). He congregated and organized missionary activities into the hinterlands. The Corinthians were written during his stay here. It is also believed that Virgin Mary accompanied St John to stay on top of the Bulbul Mountain, the place popularly known as the House of Virgin Mary until her Assumption. The site is rightfully declared as a holy pilgrimage by the Supreme Church of Vatican. John, one of the chief apostles also has an Ephesus connection. It is said ‘the Gospel of John’ was written by him in Ephesus around 90-100 AD. Join our Marmaris Ephesus Tour to explore the ancient city of Ephesus from Marmaris.

A Very Good Tour Guide
I very rarely feel the need to write reviews on internet, but this tour fully deserves it! I booked the full day Ephesus Tour with Mares Travel online. The guide, Mehmet, was amazing! He was so well informed and equipped with detailed which enriched the tour so much. He gave us plenty of time to spend in key places, to take photos or just simply enjoy the city of ephesus abit more. I never felt rushed at all (which I did with another different tour I did the day before, with a different company of course!). Lunch was included in the price and it was delicious! I really hope this guy is getting well paid because he does a great job!!! Felt so bad that I didn't book my other two trips with them really as I would have enjoyed it even more than I have, but I'll make sure I book all my trips with next them next time! Thank you once again for all your service and making my last day in Marmaris an unforgettable one.

About Marmaris Ephesus Tour According to the old legends, Ephesus was founded by the female warriors known as the Amazons. Ephesus was inhabited from the end of the Bronze Age onwards but changed its location several times in the course of its long history.
Carians and Lelegians are to have been among the city’s first inhabitants. Carians and Lelegians are to have been among the city’s first inhabitants.
Ionian migrations are said to have begun in around 1200 B.C. According to legend, the city was founded for the second time by Androclus, the son of Codrus, king of Athens, on the shore at the point where the CAYSTER (Küçük Menderes) empties into the sea. The Ionian cities that grew up in the wake of the Ionian migrations joined in a confederacy under the leadership of Ephesus.
The region was devastated during the Cimmerian invasion at the beginning of the 7th century B.C. Under the rule of the Lydian kings; Ephesus became one of the wealthiest cities in the Mediterranean world. The defeat of the Lydian King Croesus by Cyrus, the King of Persia, prepared the way for the extension of Persian hegemony over the whole of the Aegean coastal region.
At the beginning of the 5th century, when the Ionian cities rebelled against Persia, Ephesus quickly dissociated itself from the others, thus escaping destruction. Ephesus remained under Persian rule until the arrival of Alexander the Great in 334 B.C., when it entered upon a fifty-year period of peace and tranquillity. In 281 B.C. the city was re-founded under the old name of Ephesus and became one of the most important of the commercial ports in the Mediterranean.
In 129 B.C. the city was bequeathed to the Romans by Attalos, King of Pergamon and incorporated into Roman Empire as the province of Asia. At this time the city had a population of 200,000.
Ephesus became a very important center of trade and commerce. From the 1st century onwards, the city was visited by Christian disciples attempting to spread the Christian belief in a single God and thus forced to seek refuge from Roman persecution. Besides enjoying a privileged position between East and West coupled with an exceptionally fine climate, the city owed its importance to its being the center of the cult of Artemis.
St Paul remained in the city for three years from 65 to 68, and that it was here that he preached his famous sermons calling upon the hearers to embrace the faith in one God. He taught that God had no need of a house made with human hands and that he was present in all places at all times.
This was all greatly resented by the craftsmen who had amassed great wealth from their production of statues of Artemis in gold, silver or other materials. A silversmith by the name of Demetrius stirred up the people and led a crowd of thousands of Ephesians to the theatre, where they booed and stoned Paul and his two colleagues, chanting “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!
Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” So turbulent was the crowd that Paul and his companions escaped only with great difficulty. From his Epistles to the communities it would appear that Paul spent some time as a prisoner in Ephesus.
Legend has it that St John the Evangelist came to Ephesus with the Virgin Mary in his care. Some also say that it was here that he wrote his Gospel and was finally buried. In 269 Ephesus and the surrounding country was devastated by the Goths. At that time there was still a temple in which the cult of Artemis was practiced. In 381, by order of the Emperor Theodosius, the temple was closed down, and in the following centuries, it lay completely abandoned, serving as a quarry for building materials.
