Ephesus is Awesome

Michael_G, Nov 2025

It is a long day of travel but worth it. The ruins at Ephesus are beautiful and you can really get a perspective on this ancient city. More Christian linkage would be nice.

Two ruins in one day

Shilpa_n, Nov 2025

From the helpful pre-tour WhatsApp communication to the final stop, this was a flawlessly executed and incredible day. We were first greeted by our friendly driver in Izmir, Husain, who set a warm and welcoming tone. Our guide, Tijen, was fantastic—deeply knowledgeable and experienced, she patiently answered all my questions. The itinerary was awe-inspiring: a serene visit to Mary’s House, followed by the magnificent Ephesus ruins, which were thankfully not too busy. After a delicious lunch, we had the option to visit a rug, leather, or spice shop before the scenic drive to Pamukkale. A standout tip was using a buggy in Pamukkale to see the ruins, which let us cover more ground effortlessly. The water pools was also a standout. The day was long, but well-paced with car breaks, so we never felt overly tired. My one piece of advice: be sure to wear sturdy shoes!
