Overview

The tour begins with a hotel pickup in Izmir at 8:00 am. Participants travel by air-conditioned minibus for approximately one and a half hours to the ancient city of Ephesus, located on the Ionian coast. Upon arrival, a professional guide leads a two-hour walking tour of Ephesus, highlighting key sites such as the Library of Celsus, known for its impressive Roman architecture, and the Roman Theater, which could hold up to 24,000 spectators. After the guided visit, the group travels a short distance to Selcuk for a one-hour lunch at a local restaurant offering an open buffet. Following lunch, there is a 20-minute stop for a panoramic view of the Temple of Artemis ruins, recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The temple’s remaining marble columns and sculptures can be seen from this viewpoint. The tour concludes with a return drive of about one and a half hours back to Izmir, where participants are dropped off at their hotels. The price includes hotel pickup and drop-off within Izmir, entrance fees to Ephesus Ancient City, lunch, transport by air-conditioned vehicle, and a professional guide. Drinks, gratuities, and personal expenses are not included. The guide may speak multiple languages, but the tour operates in English if there are not enough participants for other languages.
