What To Expect

Ephesus was inhabited from the end of the Bronze Age, but the location of the city was changed owing to the silting up process of the river Cayster and because of various rulers. The ancient city that we visit today is the 3rd location of Ephesus from the 3rd C BC. As you enter the site with your guide you are going to see lots of impressive monumental structures in this Greko-Roman city such as starting from the Gate of Magnesia; Agoras including the Commercial Agora, Roman Baths, Basilica, Odeon(Buleterion), Domitian Square containing more ruins spread around including Nike Relief, Gate of Heracles, Three main collonaded streets of Ephesus including the Harbour street, Trajan Fountain, Temple of Hadrian, Latrines(ancient public toilets), Teracce Houses(from outside), Library of Celsus, Grand Theatre, Gymnasium and more…
Sirince Koyu
Your final destination in the historical part of your tour will be the old Greek Village” Sirince(Şirince)” which means “pretty”. Today the village is a perfect synthesis of Turk-Greek culture. Your guide will take you around the village as following the narrow streets in between the old Greek houses, and then you will be having the chance to enjoy your free time for a while as walking around streets where you see the villagers selling their own handicrafts, needle works all around.

5.00The tour was fantastic. Ayse was very welcoming and very knowledgeable. She looked after us really well, ensuring that we were OK at all times. She went at the pace we required and accommodated all our needs. The driver was also very good and careful at driving. The Ephesus tour itself was very interesting and highly recommended. Sirinci village is also very beautiful and cultural. We also stopped at a pottery factory run by a family which was incredible and a leather factory which was entertaining. Overall this tour is highly recommended. Thanks to Omer for organising everything for us and ensuring a smooth tour.

5.00We booked this whilst taking a walk through the town. We were browsing and, one of the reasons we booked with this company and not another is because they were not pushy. They answered all our questions and let us go away and think about it. The next day, we went and booked it. The driver was on time and nothing was a problem for him. As it was a private tour, we didnt feel rushed or have to stay at a certain attraction we were not interested in as is the way with coach organised tours. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip to the sirince village and bought several souvenirs and wine from there. Would recommend and use this company again. 5 stars all round
