Cave of the Seven Sleepers

You can reach the Cave of the Seven Sleepers, located on the edge of Mount Panayer, near the ancient city of Ephesus, by taking the asphalt road that goes east from the Vedios Gymnasium. This place is known as the cave in which the seven young men slept in the story of the Companions of the Cave mentioned in the Holy Qur’an. It is a stone cave, parts of which still exist to this day. A church and many tombs were found here during excavations conducted in the past years.
