Overview

This private day tour starts with a pickup at Kusadasi port or hotel, where the guide will greet the group with a personalized sign. The trip continues by air-conditioned minivan to Ephesus, about 25 minutes away. Visitors spend around two hours walking the ancient city’s main streets, seeing landmarks such as the State Agora, Odeon, Library of Celsus, and the large Roman-era Grand Theater, which could hold 24,000 spectators. Next, the tour proceeds to the Terrace Houses on the slope of Pion Mountain. These six houses, built on three terraces, were homes of wealthy Ephesians and feature wall frescoes and mosaic floors. The visit involves climbing many steps and is not recommended for those with walking difficulties or fear of heights. Afterward, the group stops for a Turkish lunch included in the tour. Following lunch, the tour visits the Temple of Artemis site, once one of the ancient seven wonders. This stop lasts about 20 minutes before returning to Kusadasi town center and port. The return includes about 15 minutes of free time in Kusadasi, concluding the 5-6 hour tour. Entrance fees, port pickup and drop-off, private guide, and transportation are all included.
