    Located in the Aladağ Mountains, just 5 miles from Ephesus, the House of the Virgin Mary is a significant pilgrimage site. According to tradition, Mary came to Ephesus with St. John in 37 A.D. and lived there until her death in 48 A.D. The site was recognized as a place of pilgrimage by the Archbishop of Kusadasi in 1892, following the discovery of the house. On July 26, 1967, Pope Paul VI visited and prayed at this sacred location, cementing its importance for visitors from around the world. “Guaranteed return to ship”

    Claros (Klaros) was an ancient Greek sanctuary near İzmir, dedicated to Apollo. Famous for its oracle, it was one of the most important prophecy centers of the ancient world—comparable to Delphi.

Today, Claros offers a peaceful archaeological site featuring a temple, sacred spring, and impressive columns.
