2. House of Mary is our first stop. A sacred site of faith and history. A thing of beauty. A must see sacred sanctuary where Mother Mary lived. The House of Mary feels less like a place you visit, and more like a place that gently welcomes you. Hidden among peaceful hills and surrounded by whispering trees, it carries a quiet, almost sacred stillness. There is something deeply moving in its simplicity, no grandeur, no excess, just a sense of calm that seems to embrace everyone who steps inside. It is believed to be the final home of Mary, and whether you come for faith, history, or curiosity, the atmosphere touches you in a way that words can hardly explain. Candles flicker softly, prayers are left behind like silent wishes, and time seems to slow down, allowing you to simply be present. In that moment, the world outside fades, and all that remains is a feeling of peace, reflection, and quiet connection. The House of Mary is not just a destination, it is a gentle pause for the soul.

3. Vieille ville d’Éphèse

   After our visit to House of Mary, we will explore the Ephesus city. Ephesus is not just an ancient city, it is a living memory carved in stone. As you walk along its marble streets, worn smooth by thousands of footsteps over centuries, you can almost hear the echoes of a once-thriving world. Grand columns rise toward the sky, elegant facades tell stories of power and beauty, and every corner reveals a new layer of history waiting to be felt rather than simply seen. The Library of Celsus stands like a timeless symbol of knowledge and grace, while the vast theatre whispers of voices that once filled the air with life and emotion. There is a rhythm to Ephesus, a quiet pulse that connects past and present in a way few places ever can. Here, history doesn’t feel distant. It surrounds you, walks beside you, and gently reminds you that some places are too extraordinary to ever fade away.

4. Lake Bafa Nature Park

   After exploring the magnificant Ephesus, we will have a late lunch at a very traditional local reastaurant by the Lake Bafa. Situated in the beautiful Lake Bafa National Park, with the spectacular backdrop of Latmos mountain, Bafa is a haven of tranquillity. And if you are lucky, you might witness to one of the biggest mistery on the planet, One may find this hard to believe but the eels in Lake Bafa come from the Gulf of Saragossa in Mexico. Once the eels in Lake Bafa reach a certain maturity they start on their long journey which takes them up to the Menderes River through which they reach the Aegean Sea from where they reach the Mediterranean before crossing the Atlantic to reach Gulf of Saragossa in Mexico.
