Itinerary
Your private guide will meet you atKusadasi Port at pre-arranged time. Pickup time will be given during your confirmation.
After greeting, we will have a 2-minute drive to the Ephesus area to visit one of the main highlights in Turkey. Ephesus, one of the 12 cities of Ionian League (an ancient Greek district on the western coast of Asia Minor) is located near Izmir. As a port city it was a major departure point for trade routes into Asia Minor. Walk through history along marble streets lined with wonderful public buildings. Among them are the Baths of Scholastica and the Library of Celsus (it was built in the beginning of the 2nd century A.D. by Gaius Julius Aquila to be a memorial to his father Gaius Julius Celsus Polemanus, the proconsul of Province of Asia). The Temple of Hadrian and The Grand Theater are two of the most impressive buildings in Ephesus. The Grand theatre was built in the 3rd century B.C and it was later expanded to 24.000 spectators by the Romans in the 1st century A.D.
After the Temple, drive up to the pretty old Turkish-Orthodox village Sirince, located on the top of a mountain, where anyone will enjoy the impressive vineyards and peach trees. The village has a synthesis of Turk-Greek culture, where we visit a mosque and anOrthodox church. All the narrow streets of the village belong to the women, selling handcrafts of all kinds and olive oil. Another attraction of Sirince is its fruity wine. You can taste it in small cafés.
Have a wonderful traditional Turkish lunch in Sirince Village with Mezes and a main dish.
After the tour we will take you back to the Kusadasi city center or to the port.

This is a private tour that is excellent way to see Ephesus ruins and other sites. We had a comfortable private van and driver, spending a wonderful day with our guide Zafer . He easily ushered us through the crowds providing us an understanding of what we were seeing. We had previously taken a similar tour that included Virgin Mary house so opted for this tour with a stop and lunch in Sirince. Sirince is a quaint little village that was certainly worth the stop. We are thankful for the opportunity to spend the day on this tour with Zafer. We were on a cruise so booked this as a shore excursion. It was better and more fairly priced than anything offered by the cruise line, and had no worries about getting back to the ship in time.

our tour was of the museum, which was fabulous, and Sircine village which is a small town full of shops and a small church. A very scenic drive with a good driver followed by lunch and the rug sales which we declined and got out of doing as we have done before . our tour guide GULSAH (Rose) was fabulous. Very helpful, fluent in English and a great historian.
