The experience

For travellers with more time, this is the most complete way to read the landscape around Ephesus. Begin with the House of the Virgin Mary, walk the ancient city in depth, and continue towards the Basilica of St John and the site of the Temple of Artemis when the day allows. A relaxed pace and a local lunch keep a long day comfortable.
