5.00Our recent private tour with Attila was amazing. Attila arranged a comfortable van, picking us up directly from our hotel in Soğucak, and expertly guided us through an itinerary rich in history and local culture. Starting at the House of Mary, we arrived before the cruise crowds, which made the experience feel special and serene. Attila's knowledge of Ephesus was great – he brought the ancient city and the terraced houses to life with his insights during our nearly 4-hour visit. Lunch in the picturesque village of Şirince at Pervin Teyze Restaurant was a highlight. they served us authentic and delicious Turkish food at very reasonable prices. we finished the day off with stops at the Church of St. John and a pottery workshop. Highly recommend Attila for anyone looking for a well-organized, immersive experience in the area!
