										WHAT YOU VISIT
										Ephesus - Enter through the Magnesia 
										Gate and passing through the Odeum, the 
										Celsius Library, the Temple of Hadrian, 
										the Fountain of Trajan and the Great 
										Theater.
										The Theater had seating for 25,000, was 
										the site where St. Paul preached to the 
										Ephesians, and it is used today for a 
										local spring festival.
										The House of Virgin Mary: The Vatican 
										has recognized this small house in the 
										Solmissos Mountains as the final resting 
										place of the Virgin Mary. A small shrine 
										dedicated to St. Mary was found when the 
										ruins of the house were first 
										discovered.
										
										
										Did you know that fact about Ephesus?
										But did you know about the place outside 
										of Ephesus called garbage heap (trash 
										heap)? According to the historical 
										records unwanted babies - mostly girls 
										-due to the belief to the Artemis 
										goddess (Artemis was the goddess of 
										fertility both giving blessings to woman 
										willing to have a child and also 
										protecting from the child birth, as 
										every third woman was likely to die 
										during the child birth) were left in the 
										isolated area to die. The most 
										healthiest of them were picked up by the 
										slave traders and used to be slaves or 
										prostitutes.
