Excellent trip from Samos we really enjoyed and our guide was knowledgeable and told us everything we needed to know. I definitely recommend this trip.
The boat trip from Samos is beautiful and well organized. Even saw dolphins along the way! An extra compliment for the support from the organization. Super easily accessible for questions, really top! Ephesus is impressive and it actually takes more time than currently available. The visit to the temple of Artemis was also beautiful and indispensable in the story. The guide Volkan was super excited! The layover at a local store may be cancelled by me. Also the time reserved for the visit to the shopping center of Kushidare is too much in my opinion.
Italian-speaking guide (Mario) was knowledgeable and friendly... Ephesus is a fascinating place. It is a shame about the stop at the local products shop, which has absurd prices set specifically for tourists, and the visit to Kusadasi where you are left on your own if you do not have lunch with the guide.
Dear Giusepp, Thank you for sharing your experience. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the fascinating atmosphere of Ephesus and the opportunity to discover one of the most impressive archaeological sites in the region. The beauty and history of this excursion make it a truly memorable journey for many visitors. We understand that some parts of the program may not suit every guest's expectations, as the itinerary is designed to combine cultural highlights with elements of local tradition. We're pleased that, overall, the excursion left you with positive memories of the day.
Unfortunately, too much time spent in Ephesus. Wonderful site and worth discovering! But not enough time to visit Kusadasi...
Dear guest, thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed visiting Ephesus and discovering such an impressive historical site. As the excursion’s main focus is Ephesus itself, more time is allocated there to allow guests to explore it properly. We understand you would have liked additional free time in Kusadasi and appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
Ephesus was great but our tour didn’t take us to areas that I saw other guides doing. It was really too short for what is there. Instead we spent some 20-30 minutes on the way back at a Turkish products store. Someone’s cousin? To get there and back you have to go through customs 4 times totaling about 2 hours total to get through the queues. The ferry over to Kusadasi and back was slow and cramped. No amenities. Total of almost 4 hours on the water. It is NOT the typical ferry you ride between Greek islands. There was extra time for walking Kusadasi but it is just a typical Turkish city, nothing special. Ephesus is a must see, but I would look at other options to get there.
Dear Guest, thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed Ephesus. Please note, long queues at customs and port are managed by local authorities and can vary, so they’re not under our control. The ferry’s speed or route may also change if weather conditions require it, always prioritizing safety. The brief stop at a local store is part of the itinerary, but entering is completely optional. We appreciate your comments and hope you still took away some memorable moments!
Guide prepared and welcoming Very interesting place Would recommend it.Many things I didn't know and also new
Dear Rosette, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the beauty of the place and the insights from our knowledgeable guide. We hope to welcome you again soon on another Cretan Holidays excursion!
The boat does not leave from Samos City, but Pythagorio. We ended up having to pay for an expensive taxi bill to get back and forth to Samos. Also keep in mind you have to pay the Turkey-tax in cash which is not told here on the advertisement. Otherwise an average trip. It would have better if we had more time to explore on our own in ephesos rather than to follow the guide all the time.
Dear Jona, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that parts of the trip did not meet your expectations. We’d like to kindly clarify that the departure from Pythagorio is clearly mentioned in the Additional Info section, and the €10 per person port tax is also noted in the What’s Included section as not included and payable in cash. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon.
Despite all the fears that there might be organisational difficulties, everything went well. We took the ferry *Efesus Express". The journey to Kusadasi took two hours as indicated. Our tour was conducted by Okeanos travel and we loved it. Ihsan, who speaks fluent English, Turkish and Greek, did a very good job and was very nice to us. He introduced Kusadasi and Ephesus with a lot of knowledge, humor and enthusiasm. The entire tour was in English as stated. The ancient city of Ephesus was very impressive. You felt like you were diving into antiquity. Every item there has a little story to tell. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed it. My tip: Be sure to take enough water with you! And sturdy footwear must not be missing. The paths in Ephesus, which are partly made of marble, are very slippery. All in all, it was a very nice trip that was worth its time and money!
This is a wonderful trip. Our guide was amazing and very informative. She was great to keep up with group members and answer all questions. The one negative was many school groups were there so a weekend visit this time of year may be better.
Dear Patricia, Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you had a wonderful time and appreciated the guide’s attention and knowledge. We hope to assist you again with your bookings soon!
Once you are through customs then you load up on a small boat and head to Turkey. Once through customs on the Turkish side then it’s off to Ephesus on a big bus. After a short ten minute ride, the upper city awaits. A very thoughtful touch, starting in the upper city so the tour is down hill. Our tour guide, Begum, was first rate and had many interesting facts to share on the tour and in the bus. She had the pace perfect…not too much time but enough so that you could hear about the culture then take pictures or buy souvenirs with never much waiting.
Dear Allen, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your trip to Ephesus and that the itinerary was well planned. It's wonderful to know that you found the pacing just right, allowing for both learning and exploration. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back soon!
