Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
The Virgin Mary’s home was interesting, but the tour of Ephesus was fascinating and very memorable. Fortunately our tour contact suggested we also visit the Terrace Homes, another great experience. Our guides were personable and gave us great insight into that period of time. We had a lunch of Turkish favorite dishes in a beautiful outdoor setting.
These are the most spectacular ruins that we saw when visiting Turkey. If you visit the country and have limited time, these are the ruins that you should visit. There is a lot to see at these ruins and you should allow several hours. We thought that the entrance was awesome, however there were much better sights as we walked through the place.
our ephesus tour was one of the highlights
Our tour guide was lovely – she spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable. Thanks
Great guides. Great information! Don’t take the cruise line tours they are so expensive!
well worth to visit, the terrace houses are interestin. loved ephesus itself.
la verdad creo que lo mejor que he hecho a sido tomar este tour privado de dia completo por efeso aparte vimos la casa de la virgen maria la basilica de san juan el templo de artemisa y tambien comimos muy pero muy bien la comida realmente es maravillosa creo que habre subido un par de kilos mientras estaba en turquia 🙂 el guia que nos recibio al salir del crusero era muy bueno y divertido se llamaba ALÄ° se ve que es una buena persona y tambien bastante conocida en todos los lugares que entramos lo conocian y lo saludaban bien cordialmente el tiempo que pasamos con el fue muy grato,, no puedo dejar pasar tambien que es muy profesional cada lugar de efeso casa esquina de la casa de la virgen maria o de el templo de artemisa fue todo muy bien explicado tan bien que no sentimos la necesidad de preguntar algo recomiendo sin duda alguna a mi guia y a la agencia…
