This is a great example of a town when this area was in Greece. What has been uncovered gives a proper perspective of what life was like in those times. It is very hot as there’s no shelter so go early. I’d also recommend hiring a guide

Wonderful site but be prepared for dozens of cruise ship groups and lots of people blocking the way posing for Instagram photos with little interest in the site. Maybe better going first thing or out of season. We got the Dolmus then €10 taxi to the top entrance which avoids having to double back. I would recommend getting the ticket which includes the terrace houses which have amazing painted walls and mosaic floors.

Totally recommend this trip. We travelled from Marmaris with Kadir as our tour guide. It was a very long day. Starting out at 05.15am in the morning and returning by around 7pm in the evening. But boy, it was worth it! Kadir studied Archiology at university and was a wealth of knowledge. He also had a fantastic sense of humour which is much needed with a tour guide in my view. Ephesus is just incredible. Please see my pictures.

Glories of an ancient past seen amidst the ruins at Ephesus. Both St Paul and St John visited the place. Ruins have a picture of life at that time including the marble toilet seats! Outstanding structure was a well preserved library of great beauty and its niches that held papyrus rolls. Also a spectacular well preserved theatre.

This was amazing. It was truly humbling to be so close to a important piece of history. I wouldn't have been able to truly grasp it if it wasn't for our amazing tour guide Seyhan Dogan. He was so well educated on the topic. He was able to answer all of our questions about roman life. He really made the experience so much cooler. He was great company and funny as well. This tour really contributed to making my trip a once in a lifetime experience. Whatever Seyhan is making it's not enough. You should start your own business.

It is located opposite Liman Street, corresponding to the entrance of Mermer Street. It is the largest theater in the ancient world. It has a capacity of 24,000 people. There is a three-storey staircase structure. St. Paul preached here during his time. World stars have also given concerts in this theater in the past.

The history and culture laying here. A must visit place in hüşadası. highlyreccomeded. location Ephesus; It is within the borders of Selçuk district of İzmir province. Located on the west coast of Anatolia, this historical city is 3 km away from the center of Selçuk. The distance of Ephesus Ancient City to other central places is as follows: Istanbul: 552 km Ankara: 628 km Izmir: 83 km Kuşadası: 19 km

Low cost visit to Ancient City, we travelled to/from on local buses 40TL each way per person from Kusadasi and then paid 700TL entry each, the walk from the bus stop is about 1km max to the lower gate. We did splash out on a tour guide when there €50 but that was for a private tour for 4 people. So roughly €39 a head for the visit most local tour operators will offer a deal and haggle but it isn’t difficult to get there on your own and probably half the list price of the tour guides.

The ancient city of Ephesus is truly amazing! There are so many exquisite ruins, including the gigantic stadium. You can walk on the avenue where the Apostle Paul actually walked. There are too many exhibits to describe in detail. You must see for yourself!

A must see for a Turkiye visit. The history here is simply amazing. I would definitely recommend going as part of a tour rather than tackling the site on your own. The guides have a wealth of knowledge and are able to properly explain what you are seeing. It is definitely sensory overload but so worth it. If you are travelling independently, allow at least 4 hours here and a full day if you are visiting Selcuk and other historical sites.
