Mary’s House above Selcuk: The 15 Best Tours

56 tours  ·  from $13

The chapel sits eight kilometres up Bulbul Mountain with no bus of its own, so it comes attached to Ephesus or not at all. These 15 pair the two, with prices, the order they visit in and how long the hill road adds.

“Book this experience! Funda is a phenomenal guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and excellent at explaining history in a way that resonates with all age ranges. As cruisers, we were initially nervous about exploring a new country, but the communication during the booking process was seamless and kept us updated every step of the way.

It was strange and not listed in the tour description. Our lunch was a cheap buffet and not that good. After that we went to a store that gave a presentation on olive oils and other Turkish goods.
