Guide was a fountain of knowledge and very friendly. Visits took place on a “quiet” day, but still extremely crowded. Ephesus Experience Museum was fabulous. Stops at Turkish Delight and Leather factories were not on programme and felt like a kidnapping.
A visit to Ephesus is an unforgettable highlight of any trip to Turkey and makes a perfect half-day experience during your holiday. Walk in the footsteps of Alexander the Great as you explore this remarkable ancient city, which later flourished under Roman rule as the capital of Roman Asia.
Ephesus is best known as the site of the legendary Temple of Artemis, once one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Its impressive ruins, grand avenues, and beautifully preserved structures offer a fascinating glimpse into a powerful civilisation, with ongoing excavations still uncovering new discoveries.
Your visit is complemented by time at the House of the Virgin Mary, nestled in peaceful countryside just outside the city. Discovered in the 19th century, this serene and meaningful site continues to attract visitors from around the world.
Blending iconic history, culture, and scenic surroundings, this half-day experience is an ideal way to add depth and memorable moments to your holiday.
