You will be picked up from Izmir airport, Izmir Hotel, Izmir Marina, or Izmir cruise ship port. Your Ephesus tour guide will hold up a sign with your name on it, making it easy for you to find your allocated tour guide and transfer service. This Ephesus tour will take approximately 5 hours, and afterward, we will drive you back to your Izmir hotel, Izmir Marina, Izmir airport, or Izmir harbor in Turkey.
During the half-day Ephesus tour from Izmir, we will pass through the verdant Izmir coasts, plains, and mountains before arriving at the Ancient City of Ephesus. Ephesus Ruins is one of the most spectacular excavations in the world. You will see the Odeon, The Fountain of Trajan, the stream baths of Scholastika, the Temple of Hadrian, and the Grand Theater. The Grand Theater, where Saint Paul preached, is believed to be the largest outdoor theater in the ancient world, with a capacity of 24,000 seats. Let's not forget the very impressive library of Ephesus adorned with columns and statues.
Our last stop is the Basilica of Saint John. The 6th Century St. John Church was constructed under the Byzantine emperor Justinian on the supposed site of St. John’s grave. It was built on such an immense scale that if it were rebuilt today, it would remain the world’s 7th largest cathedral. Its remains are characterized by a strange combination of Roman imperial grandeur and early Christian grace and weightiness. After you have taken in the sights, your Ephesus Tour guide will give you approximately one hour of free time to stroll at your leisure or relax and have some refreshments in the cafeteria. When the tour has finished, your Ephesus Tour guide will return you to your pick-up point.
PS: Ephesus tours we provide are private tours, which means they include a driver and a separate tour guide who speaks English. They will accompany you throughout the tour and be able to answer any questions or queries during your tour. Those who book in advance avoid the rush and tight squeezes of traveling with all of the crowds.
