We would definitely recommend this private tour
It was a great day with so much to see in such a beautiful, clean city!
Our guide was a great guide full of historical knowledge as well as answering questions about the land and people.
I especially liked the little village Sirence that we visited. The people were so friendly and the village gave us the opportunity to purchase gifts to take home that were handmade.
well worth to visit, the terrace houses are interestin. loved ephesus itself.
We had a wonderful trip and would definitely recommend
Kirazli is a nice village in a beautiful hilly location. Full of boutique hotels and simple-but-good restaurants. Cooler than the close by Ephesus, I recommend it as a relaxing break from archeology/beach wandering.
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…
Our group of 6 adults added this village to our day-long tour of Ephesus – and we’re glad we did! It is a beautiful ride up the mountain to visit this lush Kirazli village. The small streets are lined with stand of families or small businesses selling a variety of olive oil and products and countless other Turkish specialties. There were several small restaurants as well.
Our tour guide took us to the top of the town to an outdoor restaurant where we enjoyed what I believe was one of the best meals of our two-week cruise vacation.
In short, this village is a wonderful, relaxing respite from the hot walking tours of Ephesus (also highly recommended). If you have time while visiting Ephesus, make a visit to this friendly town!
I highly recommend them, you will not regret it.
We booked a private tour of Ephesus from our cruise ship. The tour guide and that air conditioned van made a huge difference.
Our guide was the most friendly, fun. My only suggestion to others would be to book the whole day ephesus trip so you can thoroughly enjoy the ephesus and around the city.
