Terrace Houses they are most impressive and unbelievable. They are the homes of the very rich of the day with indoor hot and cold water, heated homes, indoor bathrooms and even a sauna with heated floors. The lunch was awsome and got back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. Thanks again
Nous avons eu la chance de visiter cet endroit avec un guide passionné et qui a su tenir en haleine petits et grands avec anecdotes et faits historiques.
Le lieu est superbe, et même si bondé, notre plaisir n’en a pas été gâché. Nous avons été fascinés par la beauté et la magie du lieu. La visite se fait dans le sens de la descente et l’apothéose en est la bibliothèque de Celsius admirablement bien conservée. L’amphithéâtre qui pouvait accueillir jusqu’à 24 000 personnes est à couper le souffle également. Le plus rapidement possible nous en ephèse de nouveau très beau le tour privé et les guides les je recommande sont très bons dans son travail
the ruins of the ancient city of ephesus are a mustsee for people visiting turkey they are difficult to get to so it’s best to go by private tour.
Gunes was an excellent guide for our day, the small group interaction was refreshing. Put this on your list !
Although there is an extra entrance fee for the Terrace Houses, you mustn't miss them. We were blown away by the mosaics that are in the process of being excavated and the spectacular scale of the work here. Though the actual site of Ephesus was teeming with tourists outside, we had the Terrace Houses, which are right there on site..
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.
This tour was booked as from a cruise ship arrival for 10 people. I must say we realy enjoyed we had a great time.
We had a wonderful time and thank you so much for everything.
Terrific tour, you will enjoy Epheus-Turkey so much more if you go on this tour.
We would not have enjoyed Turkey as much as we did if we had not taken this tour. The tour picked us up at the cruise terminal. We knew the sites we were going visit but our tour guide suggested the order to visit that would suit us best.
