Det kan du forvente

The hills around Kuşadası are home to two of Turkey's most popular historical sites – the ancient city of Ephesus and the House of the Virgin Mary. You'll be whisked through centuries of history at Ephesus, see one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and visit an important pilgrimage site on Mount Koressos – all in one afternoon. Esra, one of our expert local guides, says, "The Library of Celsus is one of the most impressive landmarks of Ephesus. It once held over 12,000 scrolls and was the third-largest library in the ancient world."

Kick off with a drive into the sun-soaked hills to visit the House of the Virgin Mary. According to popular belief, St John the Evangelist brought Mary to Ephesus after the crucifixion of Jesus, and she lived here until her death. Next, it's time to head to the ancient city of Ephesus, where a journey through history awaits. Your guide will lead you around the sprawling archaeological site and point out its highlights while regaling you with fascinating historic tales of this once-powerful city. While you're here, you'll also walk through the museum, where digital exhibits help to bring the place to life by showcasing what Ephesus could've looked like in its heyday.

You'll stroll down marble-paved streets where mosaics and frescoes still decorate the walls of ancient Roman houses, gaze at the Temples of Artemis and Hadrian, and be blown away by the Library of Celsus. Esra says "I love to imagine the Great Theatre filled with 25,000 spectators. They would come to watch gladiator clashes, political rallies and performances in this theatre, a hub of city life. You can almost hear the roar of the crowd."

    We booked this excursion with our 2year old child. We were not told that he could not enter the museum (for age 7+), therefore one of us had to miss out on this experience. We were also not told that Ephesus was not suitable with a pushchair, making it very difficult to explore in its entirety along with the guide. Our guide was also 40minutes late to the meeting point. This left us waiting in the heat without shade or somewhere to sit. And delayed dinner that evening by 1hour. Not ideal!

    The guide was great. The Ephesus Experience was amazing. We felt rushed through the Birgin Mary’s house. Transfers were delayed and seemed a bit disorganised.

    The virgin Mary house is just an excuse to get your money. Ephasus is very good and well worth the trip.

    Efez super, przewodnik gonil w samym Efezie zbyt malo czasu na na samodzielne exploroeanie obiektu. Niekoniecznie trafiony przystanek na zakupy w lokalnym sklepiku, kosztem czasu w Efezie. Uwaga do muzeum nie wejdziesz z dziecmi ponizej 7 roku, tego nie powiedza ci przed zakupem wycieczki.
