prenne un tour privé de jour complet depuis izmir la vérité a été exelente tout très beau le VEHICULE le Medical et egalement tout ce que vi la basilica le peuple de şirince a été merveilleux sans aucun doute leur recommande…
que mejor que viajar solos en un tour privado las cosas se hacen segun el gusto de uno…
We chose a private guided tour rather than a ship excursion and would highly recommend the deluxe ephesus fullday tour.
I booked a private tour for 8 people for a one day cruise stop in November, at the port of izmir my booking was done through email.
The tour of the Ancient City of Ephesus and the Terrace houses was incredible. A fabulous day! Thank you.

Regards to Yesim and many thanks for a super day.
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.
I enjoyed the Terrace Houses, and it is worth the extra money to see the dig in progress and the uncovered mosaics. If you are not overly interested in either of these, its a site you can miss and enjoy the incredible ruins of Ephesus around it. Note that there are an awful lot of stairs to climb !
