Ephesus – the city established in 10 BC is a must visit for anyone having an interest in history. What is amazing is the way one can almost walk through the streets of the city and imagine how the city was organised in those time by seeing the ruins on both sides.
The site is surprisingly easy to access from Selcuk (5 km) or Kusadasi (15 km)
Be sure to take ample sun protection and water on the tour since one cannot get anything in the middle of the ruins,
I arranged a tour before going on a Mediterrian cruise. We did an amazing tour of Ephesus and Sirence village with the lovely and incredibly knowledgeable guide. Thank you for a memorable and informative day!
highly recommend..
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…
For those who have spent three hours enjoying the Ephesus site. Spend a tranquil,relaxing hour or two admiring the lost romance of 30 odd rusting monsters of the Turkish railways. Set in a beautiful green park, with restaurants on hand.
We will definitely be back to Turkey! Thank you very much we really had a great time.
Regards to Yesim and many thanks for a super day.
Very organized tour. The tour guide was great. Ephesus was beautiful. I would recommend this private tour to everyone.
The scenery was breathtaking, enjoyed every minute of it. The Microlight was very comfortable and the scenic flight was great value for money and great friendly and experienced pilot.
creo que efeso es uno de los lugares mas lindos del mundo ya que esta bien conservada el coliseo esta casi intacto la biblioteca esta casi todo en pie las personas que trabajan en el lugar son bastante atentos y casi todos halan ingles o espanol asi que no tienes problemas de comunicacion… el tour de dia completo creo que es suficiente para conocer bien esas dos partes mas importantes como efeso y la casa de la virgen maria y tambien les recomiendo este tour privado ya que los de la oficina el conductor de la van y el guia realmente son muy buenos hacen su trabajo omuy bien la verdad en mi pais tambien hay turismo pero no es tan organizado como en turquia o efeso estuvo todo muy lindo y muy bueno espero que vayan ustedes tambien desde aqui les dejo recomendado esta pagina y a estas personas 🙂
