Bodrum City
Your tour begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel or any location of your choice in one of our company’s luxury vehicles. Sit back and relax as you enjoy a scenic drive from Bodrum to the House of Virgin Mary, surrounded by the beauty of the Aegean landscape. Travel in complete comfort with a seamless private ride, take in the passing views, and enjoy complimentary refreshments from the vehicle’s minibar, making your journey as enjoyable as the destination itself.
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.

This private tour was a gift from my grandmother. She had been here and was always telling us stories about. I always wanted to visit House of Virgin Mary and I absolutely fell in love with here. The House is beautifuly preserved and people were really nice there. Our guide was awsome. She was super kind and easy to communicate. We had very good time walking around and exploring. Ephesus was majestic. Such a big ancient city. Was fun walking inside ruins and listening the history behind. We had a very tasty lunch by the lake. Everything was very nicely tailored. Thank you grandma, thank you Polestar Travel.

Our tour to Mother Mary's house and Ephesus ancient ruins was outstanding. The transportation from Bodrum was incredibly comfortable and luxurious. Adem was truly an exceptional guide who made our tour more interesting. Highlights of the tour was House Of Mary which was deeply meaningful for my parents. The story about how they found this house was touching. Spending time here was so relaxing. I felt very comfortable here. A beautiful day with lots of beautiful memories. I highly recommend this tour if you are in turkey.

This site must be the biggest open air museum. Stunning architecture by the ancient people of Greek and Romans. Take your sneakers with you and wear a hat in summer. Our drive from bodrum was very comfortable thank to the driver. We had a great lunch in a restaurant by the lake. Tour was very posh.

It was an impressive experience. Our tour organizer told us to go early in the morning otherwise the later it gets more the crowded it gets because of the cruisers. So we started at House of Mary early in the morning and it was fantastic. It was very quiet and all you could hear was birdsongs. House was very well preserved. Drank water from the Fuentes. Hope it works. Was a beautiful day!

Incredible structures everywhere. This is the most beautiful archaeological site I've ever seen. Library it self is a masterpiece. Preserved very good. It is mind blowing to see the traces left by the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Seljuks at the same streets. Many thanks to Polestar for making this tour so perfectly.
