This 3-4 hour tour departs from Kusadasi port or hotels with a maximum of 10 guests for the mini group option, or as a private tour. The guide meets guests at the pickup point holding an EPHESUS SHUTTLE sign. Transportation is provided in air-conditioned vehicles. The tour begins with a drive to the ancient city of Ephesus, where guests spend about two hours walking along marble streets and visiting major sites such as the Baths of Scholastica, the Library of Celsus built in the early 2nd century A.D., the Temple of Hadrian, and the Grand Theater, originally constructed in the 3rd century B.C. and expanded to hold 24,000 spectators in the 1st century A.D. After exploring Ephesus, the tour continues to the Terrace Houses on the slope of Pion Mountain. This site includes six residential units built on three terraces that belonged to wealthy citizens and feature wall frescoes and floor mosaics. Visiting the Terrace Houses requires climbing many steps and is not recommended for those with walking difficulties or fear of heights. The final stop is the Temple of Artemis, once one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. After this visit, the tour returns to Kusadasi town center and then to the port or hotel for drop-off. Entrance fees are not included, but the guide carries pre-paid skip-line tickets for guests who wish to enter the sites. Food, drinks, and gratuities are not included. The tour operates in all weather conditions, so appropriate clothing is advised.
