During the tour, guests will pass by and view the ancient city of Ephesus from scenic viewpoints, including the area near the Magnesia Gate, the Great Theatre, and the historic surroundings of the ancient Harbor Road. The guide will explain the history, daily life, and significance of Ephesus during the Greek and Roman periods while stopping at key photo points. No entrance fee is required, as this is a panoramic sightseeing tour and does not include entry into the Ephesus archaeological site.

Adasaray Hammam
Then, you will enjoy a traditional Turkish bath (Hamam) that offers relaxation, cleansing, and a deep cultural experience. Guests will be welcomed into an authentic hamam and guided through the traditional bathing ritual. The experience begins in the warm marble room, where the body relaxes and the pores open. This is followed by a full-body exfoliation (kese) that removes dead skin and refreshes the body. After the exfoliation, guests will enjoy a rich foam massage, leaving them feeling clean, relaxed, and rejuvenated. Time is also provided to rest, cool down, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the hamam.

This tour was an excellent choice for our short cruise stop, allowing us to see the main highlights of Ephesus through a comfortable panoramic drive without the stress of crowds or long walks. Our guide, Deniz, explained the Great Theatre and the area surrounding the Temple of Artemis in a clear and informative way, making the experience both engaging and easy to follow. The Turkish bath afterward was exactly what we needed. The facilities were clean, the staff professional, and the exfoliation and foam massage were deeply relaxing. In just half a day, we were able to combine historical exploration with true relaxation, all without feeling rushed.
