Itinerary
Ancient Ephesus, located in the Aegean Cost of Turkey, is one of the most attractive, big and old tourist destinations in the world. Ancient Ephesus is visited by a million of tourists every year. It was the capital of Romans in Asia Minor 2000 years ago. After the excavations it became a huge open air museum where the most important Roman works and art can be seen. There are two gates in Ephesus; upper gate and lower gate. There is a gentle slope, so Ephesus tours start at the top gate and finish at the lower gate. Ephesus is in 20 minutes driving distance to a famous touristic seaboard city called Kusadasi and about 1 hour drive to Izmir which is the 3rd biggest city of Turkey. It is possible to travel to Ephesus via highway, sea road and railway. For more information please also visit our Ephesus Blog and Ephesus Tours pages

Nazmican was wonderful. Friendly, pleasant, and very helpful. I got sick during the trip, and they took care of me wonderfully. Very grateful.
Fantastic, well-rounded private tour with lunch that lasted about 6 hours. Easy to communicate ahead of time for pickup. It was very busy that day with 3 cruise ships in town, including ours, and taking into consideration our two seniors and two kids, he paced it so it did not feel so busy for us. Ancient Ephesus stunning-especially the Library and the Museum.. The immersive museum was nice. Our guide Nazmican was very knowledgeable. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. We took frequent stops in the shade when needed. June is sunny so bring a hat or umbrella Lunch was included, delicious along with an interesting carpet-making demo (with sales element) . It came with Turkish coffee during the spiel, and the kids enjoyed the apple tea. My daughters were taught how to weave and practiced the double knot. Consider buying a turkish rug! Next came Mama Mary's House which was peaceful and spiritual; remember to be quiet and respectful, dress modestly, and respect photo restrictions (no photos in the house). Last was a short photo op at the Temple of Artemis, before heading back to port, as our seniors got tired from the filled day. Helpful tips: - Credit Cards are accepted - June can be hot and dry, so bring a hat and/or umbrella, and hydrate - Wear comfortable walking shoes - Consider a handpainted Turkish Evil Eye for good luck
My family of 5 had a wonderful time in Kusadasi. Onur arranged a private tour with Arif. We first visited Ephesus. My elderly mother has difficulty walking and Arif made sure we went at a slower pace and he always found a place for her to sit. Next we had a wonderful lunch near the site. Later we went to the Virgin Mary house and the temple of Artemis. It was nice to go at our own pace instead of trying to keep up with a large tour group. Arif was one of the most knowledgeable, kind and personable tour guides I have ever had. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Arif if you’re lucky enough to get him.
Onur is a fantastic tour guide and person. Always happy to help and answer questions and give advice for traveling in Turkey. He was kind and patient with our two young children and completely understanding of their needs (walking slower and toilet breaks). Onur arranged all our airport transfers as well as all our tours during our stay in Ephesus. He is 100% trustworthy and we felt completely safe with him. He is also a very careful driver. We can happily recommend him for all your travel needs and will contact him directly for our next trip to Turkey! Thank you Onur and all the best Palladion tours!!!
Oner (Onur) is very good trip organizer and talented guy who knows the best dealing method. He organized our trip of Pamokkale and Ephesus very well, guided and helped us alot. A very cooperative individual.
