Thank you very much to you and yesim.
A great way to spend a couple of hours wandering through a small village in the mountains, especially if you like the market
I sent emails asking for prices and options to create a private tour for our shore excursion. I was able to take a standard tour and customize it and it was less than half the price of the group tour shore excursion offered by our cruise. We met our private guide and driver as soon as we got off the ship. We first started with a drive out to the Virgin Mary’s House. Along the drive, we learned some interesting facts about the region and Turkey in general. Then, we reached Mary’s house and toured the site very interesting. Then it was off to Ephesus where we had a leisurely and informative tour through the amazing ruins. Make sure to get the added tour of the terrace houses. This is the most well preserved ancient ruins ever discovered.
Then it was off to St John’s Basilica and the Temple of Artimis to finish the tour. The tour was incredible and a highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this private tour the price was very reasonable.
It seemed like a tourist trap really, theres very little to see and a few overpriced shops, cant say we were so impressed.
Great way to tour Ephesus. Total experience exceeded my expectations. Guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, lunch in restaurant at selcuk was included in cost and was very good salad, entree, and dessert plus wine included. Overall, it was a very relaxng and enjoyable day.
me parece que es un lugar muy lindo me gusto mucho el castillo que estaba 0en frente del puerto efeso es una de las siete maravillas del mundo antiguo algun dia volvere a ir
A small village we stopped at whilst on a tour of Ephesus. It was a nice relaxing place to have lunch and afternoon tea, as not too crowded when we were there. Lots of quaint little "touristy" shops, and the people in them were friendly.
This tour was less than the cruise tour. we had a fab..time. thx
It is really worth seeing. Restroom facilities at the entry are limited and very crowded. There are also restrooms near the exit and they are not crowded.
Driver was very friendly and knowledgable
