Private Ephesus Full-day Shore Excursion

Ephesus used to be an important Roman city; nowadays its ruins are among the most visited ancient sites in the world. Once home to 250. 000 people, an important trade and pilgrimage center, today it is one of the highlight sites in Turkey. We usually spend about 2 hours in Ephesus, and the highlights of the site are Terrace Houses (rich Ephesians houses), Library of Celsus (the 3rd largest library in the ancient world), Grand Theater (mentioned in Bible), Temple of Hadrian, Trajan fountain. . . Depending on your interests and availability, you can visit other sites around. Ephesus is close to the port, so you will have enough time to really enjoy this tour, understand the importance of the historical events there and take good memories home. As a local guide, I can give you information not only about recent excavations and findings but also about modern-day life in this part of Turkey. Walking in the streets of Ephesus while you listen about the daily life of Ephesians is a unique journey to the past!
