a very enjoyable half day,would not hesitate to recommend this tour.
highly recommend..
The van was comfortable, the driver was careful and always timely with pick ups. It was a wonderful experience.
A private tour is so much better and less expensive than any group tour the cruise ships offer.
Visited as part of our Adriatic & Aegean cruise. Docked in Kusadasi and this provided a short driving tour of the area around the Ephesus site.
Buy one of the books that descibes the site as a helpful resource. The site accepts only Turkish Lira or credit card payments. There is a museum in the adjacent community where many of the original artifacts are housed. The site can become crowded during the peak tourist season and is open air so if it is hot, you’ll be out in the sun the whole time.
