What our clients say
"Me and my family have just returned from our marvelous cruise in the Mediterranean. We booked all our tours and transfers with SPB Mediterranean. We used them in the Baltic before and were delighted. They are a first class outfit. They also have a 5 star rating on TripAdvisor. That is why we decided to book them again for our shore excursions in Barcelona, Livorno and Rome. We could not be happier with all their services, simply perfect in everything."
Ancient City of Ephesus and St. John's Basilica
You will meet your tour guide at the port of Izmir, right at the ship, and begin the 50 minute drive to the ancient city of Ephesus. You will tour on foot the Ancient City of Ephesus, built in the 10th centruy B.C. You will see the Forum, the Odeon, the Library of Celsus, the Thermal Baths of Scolastika and the Great Theater, built in the Greek era and reconstructed in the Roman period and more.
Next you will have lunch in a small garden away from the big groups and crowds. Starter (delicious Turkish Mezzes), Main Dish (grilled chicken and meat balls ), fruit (watermelon and grape). Drinks cost extra.
Next you will make your way to the Basilica of St. John, built in the 6th century to house his tomb chamber. It is believed that St. John spent his last years in the region around Ephesus, and 3 centuries after his death, a small chapel was constructed over his grave. During the reign of Emperor Justinian, the small chapel was changed into a marvelous basilica.
