Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
my children and I had a great time thank you
The tour began at approximately 8:30 and we were told it would be approximately 5 hours. We did not arrive back to port until after 2:30, so it made for a very long day.
Wow! What a place. Our guide was knowledgable and took his time with us. I learned so many things and had a great time. You have to visit Ephesus !!
We had a wonderful trip and would definitely recommend
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.
La capital de Jonia…La ciudad de Artemisa…la segunda ciudad mas importante del imperio romano…El mayor museo el aire libre del mundo…
A lo mejor me fui mil veces a Efeso, cada vez tengo la misma emocion , la misma preocupacion de explicar muy bien la ciudad de Efeso. Porque hay que explicar todo , sin olvidarse de ningun detalle de la ciudad…porque es una ”JOYA” , es un regalo de los romanos y otras civilizaciones a Turquia.Teniendo esta importancia historica hay que explicarla con todos sus detalles.
Es una ciudad greco-romana, una de las siete maravillas del mundo se encuentra aqui.Tiene templos dedicados a Domiciano y a Hadriano, fuentes monumentales, calles de marmol blanco, con capiteles jonicos , coritios y compuestos…Despues de caminar bastante y ver muchos monumentos por el camino al final llegan a ”La Biblioteca de Celso ” se quedan sorprendidos , por que justo en frente ustedes tienen la tercera biblioteca nas grande del mundo….ES la obra MAESTRA de Efeso…
Al final llegan al Gran Teatro de Efeso ,aqui no sirven las palabras y frases , hay que verlo, un teatro con una capacidad de 24.000 espectadores…
Este es Efeso, las palabras no sirven para explicar este viaje en ”la historia”… la magia de esta antigua ciudad hay que vivirla en persona se los recomiendo es maravilloso
Make sure you afford yourself enough time and buy the ticket to the Terrace Houses. Covered beneath a modern structure, the terrace house excavations afford you a chance to see how the wealthy lived nearly 3000 years ago. Central heating, views and spectacular mosaics sure set them apart from the other residents.
Ephesus tours was fantastic. they picked us up at the ship and we began a day of absolute perfection. we had toured Ephesus before on a prior cruise and used the tour from the cruise line. This time around wanted a more personal feel to our tour. There were specific places we wanted to visit and places we wanted to go back too.
I would go back and do the same tour all over again. the amount of history, customs and real life experiences we recieved made it a very special day.
We did a private half day tour of Ephesus, We really enjoyed Ephesus and the terrace houses. Thanks
