Highlights
  • Ancient City of Ephesus - Ephesus was the second largest city in the Roman Empire, with a population of over 250,000 people in the 1st century BC. It was second only to Rome and was also a major harbor city. This vast city was constructed entirely of marble. Did you know Ephesus had the largest amphitheater in the ancient world, seating over 25,000 people? You can also see the Goddess Nike, a local pharmacy, Hadrian Gate, the Library of Celsus (the third largest library), Marble Street, and Harbor Street.
  • Ephesus Terrace Houses - The Terrace Houses are situated on a hill opposite the Hadrian Temple. Also known as “the houses of the rich,” they are significant because they provide insight into family life during the Roman period. They were built according to the Hippodamian plan, where roads intersected at right angles.
  • The Temple of Artemis - The Temple of Artemis, or Artemision, also known as the Temple of Diana, was a Greek temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis. Located in Ephesus, it was one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

We ❤️ Melis! - Melis is a kind and knowledgeable tour guide and I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking to experience Turkey. She tailored our visit to Kuşadası to our interests and always made sure that our questions were answered. I particularly appreciated that she prepped us before we entered touristy areas and let us know that people would be trying to sell us stuff! 10/10 and will be reserving another tour with Melis if I am ever back in Turkey.

Enchanting Ephesus - Best tour we have taken on our 12 day cruise. Ephesus is magical and we had the best guide ever ! Cem! Be sure to ask for him when you book. Oh, and forget cruise excursions and book a private tour; it was so much better with just our group than being with a large group. Cem was knowledgeable, personable, and catered to our every whim! The tour even included a delicious lunch in a beautiful grove of trees! And a Mercedes van to transport us everywhere!

Esephus Excellent - We were a group of 3 couples who arrived to find our guide Erdem waiting for us at the Kusadasi cruise port. Erdem brought us to a large, modern small bus with our sweet driver. We headed to Esephus and began our tour. Erdem was knowledgeable and considerate. Once we left Ephasus we were taken to an amazing place for lunch where we enjoyed delicious local authentic dishes in an outdoor shaded garden. We were treated with warmth and hospitality! We were then given some options and chose a local traditional pottery shop.The people we met were also very considerate and charming. We were offered apple tea and watched artisans at work. We were relieved our hosts were kind and not pushy salespeople! Loved our day with Erdem! The port area was clean and modern, people were welcoming and friendly. We felt safe and relaxed at all times throughout the tour. Definitely recommend this tour to any visitors.
