Day 4 - Izmir - Ephesus - Izmir (B, L, D)

After breakfast we drive to Ephesus, the ruins of a huge, well-preserved city that ranked as one of the largest cities of the antiquity. Here we will visit the theater where St. Paul preached to the Ephesians, the library, the Odeon, the “Double Church” that hosted the Third Ecumenical Council of 431, and St. John Basilica, and the House of the Virgin Mary. The church at Ephesus numbers as one of the seven churches of Revelation. After lunch we return to Izmir for dinner and overnight at our hotel.
