What To Expect

When your cruise ship arrives, our team will be ready to welcome you just outside the Exit Gate, next to the Information Desk. You’ll easily spot us—we’ll be holding a sign with your name on it. To make the most of your time ashore and avoid the crowds, we highly recommend disembarking within 30 minutes of your ship’s arrival. This allows us to leave before the large group tours depart and ensures a more relaxed, personalized experience at each site. When booking your tour, please choose the earliest available disembarkation time. This helps us begin your tour smoothly and maximizes your time at the highlights of the region. We look forward to providing you with a seamless, crowd-free start to your private tour experience!

Meryemana (The Virgin Mary's House)

Your journey begins in a place of peace and reverence—the House of the Virgin Mary, nestled in the quiet hills above Ephesus. Believed to be the final home of Mary, mother of Jesus, this humble stone chapel has become a sacred sanctuary for both Christians and visitors of all faiths. Surrounded by pine trees and birdsong, the site offers a moment of reflection, stillness, and spiritual connection. We begin our tour here, where faith and history intertwine beneath the soft Aegean light. As you step through the ancient doorway, you’ll feel a gentle hush in the air—a sense that this ground, though simple, carries the weight of centuries and prayers whispered across time. Visiting the House of Mary is not just a stop on your itinerary—it is a serene and sacred beginning to a day filled with wonder.

This was an amazing experience. So much to see. The great thing is they are still excavating so you can come back and see new stuff. Our guide Selcuk and Driver Mustafah were the BEST!

We had a lovely time on this tour! We appreciated being a private group of two with a dedicated driver in a nice vehicle. Our tour guide, Deniz, was very knowledgeable, relaxed, and answered all our questions with ease. The sights were great and the traditional lunch was tasty. As first timers traveling, we would highly recommend this tour! We felt safe and taken care of. One of the best parts of our trip!

My experience was excellent. Mustafa organized the trip after I had told him of the days available (15) and the places I wanted to visit. The organization, the punctuality, the service, the meals, in short it was a tremendous experience to visit such a beautiful country with so much history. I definitely recommend turquoise tours. Thanks for everything.
