Please imagine for a second: There is a county in the World which hosted more then forty civilations. People were fed by its fields. Took bath in the natural spring waters. Fell in love sometimes in a dangereous way and built splendid buldings for theirs deities. Do not force yourself for imagination, you do not see any dreams when close your eyes. Actually while listening to me, glorious ancient city of Ephesus will come alive before your eyes.

Overview of your Izmir tour

Ephesus, once the beating heart of western Anatolia, emerges as an unparalleled testament to antiquity. Regarded as the world's second-largest open-air museum after Pompeii, this ancient city stands proudly as the first to be crafted entirely in marble. Delve into a realm where history intertwines with architectural brilliance, boasting the Anatolian region's grandest theater, the third-largest library, and the world's second-largest agora. As you traverse these storied grounds, imagine the echoes of St. Paul's footsteps, for Ephesus was home to one of the seven churches of Revelation. The synthesis of historical richness and architectural marvel renders Ephesus not merely an archaeological site but an unparalleled masterpiece. Join us in unraveling the layers of its beauty, making Ephesus an undeniably captivating voyage into the past.

Your Izmir tour itinerary

After meeting you at the exit of Izmir Port or Izmir Airport, the Driver is taking us to Selçuk town which is 70 km away from Izmir (SMRYNA) around 50-60 minutes. -I prefer to go firstly House of Mother Mary because timing is very important for cruise passengers and the best itinerary is that way. -Then just 10 minutes later we will arrive at the upper gate of Ephesus ancient city which can take approximately 1 and a half hours or 2 hours max with visiting terrace houses, the museum can take approximately 30 minutes. -At the end of the Ephesus tour we are meeting with driver at the lower gate then we can talk about our next spots and decide to go where you wish ;) This is a suggested itinerary, let me know what you would like to see and do and I will customize the tour accordingly!
