The Magnificent Ancient City of Ephesus

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00My wife and I booked a 33-day adventure through Türkiye. As part of our tour, we booked the “Ephesus Tour.” This was a private trip arranged by Smart Türkiye Tours and guided by Selçuk Kaya. Given the overall duration of our trip, we worked with Selçuk to tailor this segment to focus on our interests. From Bodrum, we traveled by private van to Ephesus Ancient City on our way to Kuşadası. Ephesus is one of the most splendid ancient cities in the world. Highlights included the Odeon theater, Hercules Gate, Hadrian’s Gate, and of course, the magnificent Library of Celsus. The Gymnasium Theater is not open to the public but there is a decent view from the museum. The museum has a unique 3D show depicting the origin of Ephesus. The finale takes you to an exhibit room containing the statue of the goddess Artemis. In addition, we purchased the separate tickets to enter the Terrace Houses. Money well spent! An interesting glimpse into the life of the elites of ancient times. Amazing frescos and mosaics are present in the active excavation site. Overall, it was a marvelous trip made even better by the attention and guidance of Selçuk. He is a great person and guide. He was with us for the entire 33-day journey. Selçuk was very helpful regarding all travel necessities providing recommendations for restaurants, local dishes, and options for coffee and tea. He helped with ATMs, mailing postcards, and even identifying laundry locations. We highly recommend Selçuk!

5.00I joined the Ephesus and Rhodes tours with Smartexcursions and absolutely loved both! Everything was perfectly organized — the guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the history come alive. We had just the right balance of sightseeing and free time. The attention to detail and great communication made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. Highly recommended, especially for cruise passengers looking for reliable and high-quality shore excursions! 👏
