This was the perfect tour for us as we only had 8 hours in Ephesus. We were picked up from the airport at 8:30am. our tour guide, Yesim, was great. She gave us plenty of time at each stop to have a good look around and was fun and informative. I would recommend this tour to anyone with limited time in Ephesus..
a wonderful guide and a driver
Ephesus foi uma das 12 cidades de Jonia (antiga região grega na costa oeste da Ásia Menor). Na antiguidade foi uma grande cidade (a segunda maior do Império Romano, por muitos anos), porto de partida para o comércio na região e conhecida por seus santuários sagrados. Foi uma das Sete Igrejas da Ásia citadas no livro do Apocalipse. O Evangelho de São João pode ter sido escrito na cidade, onde o cristianismo mais se difundiu. As escavações no local tiveram início em 1863 e, de lá para cá, têm revelado muitas construções antigas, incluindo templos, casas, edifícios públicos, igrejas e um magnífico teatro.
O atendimento dos funcionários é muito bom, especialmente na loja de suvenires – todos falam inglês fluente e são bastante atenciosos.
Os ônibus de turismo nos deixam próximos da entrada principal. Explorar Ephesus significa estar disposto a uma caminhada de pelo menos 2 horas, ruas abaixo. À medida em que descemos, mais surpresas temos, pois o melhor, está no final do passeio.
Vale a pena conhecer! Caminhar pela rua principal, ver as ruínas do Templo de Adriano, o grande Anfiteatro, a Biblioteca de Celso e outras construções que ainda estão sendo reveladas, é surpreendente! As escavações estão revelando, lentamente, como era a vida nesta cidade.
A visita é indescritível. Para quem gosta de História, é imperdível. eu goste de tudo voltaremos o mais rapido posible em esse ano… obrigado agencia obrigado guia fico tudo bem…
a wonderful guide and a driver
We booked a private tour of Ephesus from our cruise ship. The tour guide and that air conditioned van made a huge difference.
Visited as part of our Adriatic & Aegean cruise. Docked in Kusadasi and this provided a short driving tour of the area around the Ephesus site.
Buy one of the books that descibes the site as a helpful resource. The site accepts only Turkish Lira or credit card payments. There is a museum in the adjacent community where many of the original artifacts are housed. The site can become crowded during the peak tourist season and is open air so if it is hot, you’ll be out in the sun the whole time.
Great guides. Great information! Don’t take the cruise line tours they are so expensive!
A fantastic day with a very knowledgeable guide. It was fascinating hearing all the history and the sights. A magnificent palace.
这趟伊弗所一游,是我們此行最令人難忘的。我極力推薦這旅遊公司,因為他們是非常專業而且價格是非常合理的。
