Ephesus Ancient Ruins

Full day (9 hours) Up to 15 people Selcuk, Izmir

Ephesus was once one of the largest cities in the Roman Empire and walking through it today you can still feel that grandeur. The Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre that seated 25,000 people, and the marble-paved streets are all remarkably well preserved.

Your guide is an archaeologist who has actually worked on excavations at the site. They bring a depth of knowledge that goes way beyond what you would read in a guidebook. They will point out details in the carvings and mosaics that most visitors completely miss.

The tour also includes a visit to the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the nearby village of Sirince where you can taste local fruit wines and enjoy a relaxed lunch with views over the valley.
