Overview of your Bodrum tour

Ephesus is the best-preserved classical city on the Mediterranean, and perhaps the best place in the world to get a feeling of what life was like in Roman times. Walk along its remarkably well-preserved marble streets, flanked by columns, temples, and fountains.

Your Bodrum tour itinerary

I’ll meet you in the morning at the Bodrum cruise port or your hotel for a private day trip to the ancient city of Ephesus, one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the Mediterranean. Walk its marble streets and hear the stories that shaped early Christianity and Roman Asia. We'll then enjoy a delicious home-cooked lunch at a local artisan center, where you’ll also attend a live Turkish rug weaving demonstration and learn the meaning behind Anatolian patterns and knots. In the afternoon, visit the peaceful House of the Virgin Mary and reflect in this sacred site. We’ll finish at the ruins of the Temple of Artemis—once a Wonder of the Ancient World. After the tour, I’ll drive you back to your hotel or the cruise port in comfort. This experience is private and customizable—just let me know your interests!
