EPHESUS Ephesus once the commercial center of the ancient world,is a highest of any visit to Turkey. The city,whose wealth and patronage supported its splended architectural program,was dedicated to the goddes Artemis. Her enormous temples,once consider one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world and rebuild several times,dates in its latest from 6 th century brought the Virgin Mary to Ephesus after the death of Christ and she spend her last days in a small house. Virgin Mary House :The house of Virgin is about 5 mi/8 km from Selçuk on Mount Aladağ. The house of the Virgin was sguare and made of stone...rounded or octagonal behind...the front part was separated from the  rest by light wickerwork partitions. Thus spoke Anna
Katharina Emmerich, a visionary from the Augustine convet of Dulmen,near Düsseldof.The
Virgin,She said,died in Ephesus and
her house was on a hill,at the end of a mule track,facing the island of
Samos in Aegean Sea. Thanks to these revelations an expedition discovered
the foundations of the house where Mary is believed to have
spent the last years of her life and that,on her death,was converted into
a chapel.

NEMRUD MOUNTAIN Mt.Nimrud ,which is one of highest peaks of the south_eat Taurus,is the site of the most interesting archaeological remains,not only of Anatolia,but of the whole world. Even in the 60's it was impossible to ascend the mountain by road.In the old days the only way up was by mule or on foot,through Eski Kahta and Horik.Only last year was the motor road constructed that now takes one to within a few hundred meters of the summit. From afar the east peak gives the impressionof a sharp lead pencil as it rises to a height of 2100 meters,with an added artificial peak of 50 meters more.This peak is really a tumulus built above the  treasure and tomb chamber.It is surrounded by dressed stones, each the size of a man's head,and covered with stones the size of a fist. The area of the tumulus is 1150 sguare meters,and the height above sea level is 2150m.Under normal conditions July and August are the best monts the roads are closed by snow-covered.We suggest that visitors to climb Mt.Nimrud begin their journey at midnight from either Adiyaman or Kahta.Thus they will be able to see an unrivalled picture of the dawn from the summit of the mountainçIn the early light they should be able to see an amazing panorama from the Taurus Mts, to Adıyaman,Malatya,Gazientep and Plain of Urfa and Diyarbakır the old Mesopotamia with the Euphrates winding along like a silver snake.The sacred buildings on Mt.Nımrud were constructed by the powerful King of Commagene,Antiochus I,in the first ceentury B.C.
PERGAMUM The ancient city of Pergamum was founded in the eight century B.C, on a hill overlooking the Caicos River plain.We know more history,however,from the third century BC onward, when Lysimachus took over the western and central parts of Anatolia after Alexander's death.The archaeological site in Pergamum includes three parts: the Asclepion,the Acropolis and town itself.A visit to the first two will give you an overal view of the city and its ancient splendour during the Hellenistic golden age .The town,constructed primarily by the Romans, is remarkable for the vast size of its buildings.
