Your private guide will meet you at Kusadasi port or hotel with a sign written “Your Name“ on it at a pre-arranged time. After greeting, we will have 40 mins drive to Miletus an ancient city located near the present Akköy at the mouth of the Buyuk Menderes (meander) River. Miletus owed its importance to its position on the trade routes. It was one of the largest cities in Anatolia with a population of between 80.000 and 100.000. Highly prosperous, it founded many colonies and was the home of the 6 BC philosophers Anaximander, Anaximenes and Thales, the town planner Hippodamus and architect of Hagia Sophia, Isidorus. Having a prominent position, Miletus became the most important port in this area and it was the most active member of the twelve cities of the Ionian Confederation. In the 7th century BC, Lydians besieged the city. The city was then controlled by Persians, Roman and Seljuk Turks.
The next visit after Miletus will be Didyma. The word Didyma means “twins” and it was associated by some as being the meeting place of Zeus and Leto to have their twins Apollo and Artemis. Didyma was famed as a prophecy center dedicated to Apollo, which served a similar purpose as the Delphi of Anatolia. It was not a city but a sanctuary linked to Miletus by Milesians with a 19 km/12 mi sacred road
We will have 50 mins drive to Ephesus where is 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 the Baths of Scholastica, 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. Grand theatre was built in 3rd century B.C and it was later expanded to 24.000 spectators by the Romans in the 1st century A.D.

Our guide (Gurkan?) was really attentive. He asked at the beginning if we wanted any adjustments to the tour. Which we thought was very accomidating. Gurkan was very attentive and knowledgeable. The driver and car were really nice.
Our time with Ilknur, our guide, was awesome! Excellent information and insights were shared along the way. We visited four sites with Ilknur: Two in Ephesus, Miletus, and Didyma during our full day tour. Excellent service and helpful in every way.

I cannot recommend this experience enough. We were a family group of five, one of whom had mobility issues. The guide, who was absolutely wonderful, was able to tailor our itinerary so that everyone had a great time, and we saw and did more than we expected. Lunch was delicious and plentiful. We all felt like a knowledgeable friend was showing us around.

This tour was excellent. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very kind. He honored all our requests and was able to customize our tour as we hoped. We made it to Miletus,, Didyma, Ephesus without needing to wait. Researching this trip in advance we did not consider a visit to Terrace houses in Ephesus, but our guide already had tickets and exposition took our breath away. In his stories we heard true love for Türkiye, its history and people. If we are back to Kusadasi at a point in the future, we will definitely seek this tour company again. Thank you very much!
