Selcuk

Ephesus didn’t garner its significance from antiquity, but rather from its evolution as a chief trade hub and seat of power. It houses the largest shrine dedicated to the worship of Artemis, an entity from ancient Anatolia’s goddess (Kybele) lineage. This shrine is recognised as one of the seven wonders of the world.

Ephesus was inhabited from the end of the Bronze Age, but the location of the city was changed owing to the silting up process of the river Cayster and because of various rulers. The ancient city that we visit today is the 3rd location of Ephesus from the 3rd C BC.

  • Sirince Koyu - Your final destination in the historical part of your tour will be the old Greek Village” Sirince(

irince)” which means “pretty”. Today the village is a perfect synthesis of Turk-Greek culture.

Fantastic tour and highly recommended. - The tour was fantastic. Ayse was very welcoming and very knowledgeable. She looked after us really well, ensuring that we were OK at all times. She went at the pace we required and accommodated all our needs. The driver was also very good and careful at driving. The Ephesus tour itself was very interesting and highly recommended. Sirinci village is also very beautiful and cultural. We also stopped at a pottery factory run by a family which was incredible and a leather factory which was entertaining. Overall this tour is highly recommended. Thanks to Omer for organising everything for us and ensuring a smooth tour.

Would recommend and use again, 5 stars all round - We booked this whilst taking a walk through the town. We were browsing and, one of the reasons we booked with this company and not another is because they were not pushy. They answered all our questions and let us go away and think about it. The next day, we went and booked it. The driver was on time and nothing was a problem for him. As it was a private tour, we didnt feel rushed or have to stay at a certain attraction we were not interested in as is the way with coach organised tours. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip to the sirince village and bought several souvenirs and wine from there. Would recommend and use this company again. 5 stars all round
