Trip to Ephesus

Deanna_R, Oct 2025

The drive from port is 6 hours round trip, so prepare for a long day. The travel was worth it though to see the ancient city of Ephesus. We had a wonderful time seeing the ruins, visiting the rug weaving cooperative and having a Turkish meal.

Ephesus is superb!

We came from a cruise ship and booked this Ephesus tour to get away from the ship crowds and see some great historical ruins (as mentioned in the Bible). Zeki was our fantastic guide. Very knowledge and fun to be with. Highly recommend a tour with him in particular. You can’t go wrong. One caveat, if it’s a weekend, leave enough time to navigate nasty summer traffic into Bodrum.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Fatima was a fantastic guide. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and organized. She directed us to a fantastic lunch location and the personalized treatment and input was great. We will highly recommend her to all of our friends and family.
