Questions about this tour
How long do we spend inside Ephesus?
Around 2.5 to 3 hours walking the ancient city from the upper (Magnesian) gate down to the Great Theatre, so you see everything without walking back uphill.
What should I wear?
Comfortable walking shoes, a hat and sunscreen. The marble streets are uneven and there is very little shade between May and October. Shoulders and knees should be covered at the House of the Virgin Mary.
Is the tour suitable for children and older travellers?
Yes. The route is downhill and mostly paved. Strollers are possible but bumpy; tell us about any mobility needs and we will adapt the pace.
Can I cancel?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour starts. Shore excursions can be cancelled free of charge if your ship skips the port.
