A Bespoke History and Culture Journey with Tuncher Prive

Stop 1: House of the Virgin Mary
A Sanctuary of Peace and Spiritual Serenity
Hidden in the lush greenery of Mt. Koressos, this sacred site is our first destination. Known for its tranquil atmosphere, it offers a moment of deep reflection.
Soak in the spiritual energy of this world-renowned pilgrimage site.
Leave your prayers at the Wishing Wall and refresh your spirit at the sacred springs.
Stop 2: Ephesus Ancient City (UNESCO World Heritage)
Steps into a Roman Metropolis
Accompanied by our expert guide, you will travel 2,000 years back in time. We don’t just show you the ruins; we bring the stories of ancient social life back to life.
Celsus Library: Capture unforgettable moments against the backdrop of the ancient world’s most iconic facade.
The Great Theater: Experience the awe-inspiring acoustics of this 25,000-seat architectural marvel.
Curetes & Harbor Streets: Walk the same marble paths once trodden by Roman nobles and philosophers.
Terrace Houses (Optional): Discover the private lives of the elite, adorned with remarkably preserved mosaics and frescoes.
Stop 3: Temple of Artemis
One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
We take a brief, inspiring pause at the site of what was once the most magnificent temple in antiquity. Though only a single column stands today, the panoramic view of the Selçuk plains helps you visualize its former glory and historical significance.
Stop 4: Sirince Village
Gastronomy and Culture in a Charming Hillside Village
In the afternoon, we head to the authentic village of Şirince, famous for its narrow cobblestone streets and traditional Greek-Ottoman architecture.
