Frequently asked questions
How much time do I need for Ephesus?
Allow 2.5 to 3 hours for the ancient city itself, plus 45 minutes if you add the Terrace Houses. A full day lets you add the House of the Virgin Mary, the Temple of Artemis and lunch in Selçuk or Şirince.
What is the best time of day to visit?
Early morning. The gates open around 8:00 in summer, and the first two hours are cooler and quieter before cruise groups arrive. Late afternoon is the second-best option, especially in summer.
What is the best time of year to visit Ephesus?
April to early June and September to October have warm days and fewer crowds. July and August are very hot (often above 35°C), so start early. Winter is mild and quiet, though some days are rainy.
Are entrance fees included in the price?
Yes, on every guided tour unless it is listed under "not included". The Terrace Houses need a separate ticket, which is included on our Terrace Houses tour and optional on the others.
Do you pick up from my hotel or cruise ship?
Yes. We pick up from hotels in Kuşadası, Selçuk and Şirince, from Kuşadası and İzmir cruise ports, and from İzmir airport. Staying elsewhere? Ask us.
How do I pay?
There is no online payment. Send a booking request, we confirm availability by e-mail or WhatsApp, then you pay a small deposit or the full amount on the day in cash (EUR, USD, TRY) or by card.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Day tours can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before the start. Shore excursions are refunded in full if your ship skips the port. Multi-day packages have their own terms shown on each tour.
Is Ephesus suitable for wheelchairs and strollers?
Partly. The main streets are paved marble but uneven, and there are some steps. On a private tour we use the lower gate and plan a route with fewer slopes. Tell us your needs and we will advise honestly.
