Arriving at Ephesus
Your exit gate is your pickup point. The driver waits; there is no clock-watching.
When to leave
An 08:00 pickup puts you at the gate near opening time, ahead of the mid-morning cruise groups. Add Terrace Houses, the museum or Virgin Mary and it becomes a half day; tell us at booking and the return shifts to match.
Weekday mornings outside school holidays are the calmest. The 25-minute drive means lunch back at Surtel Hotel is realistic.
Before you go
Most visits take two to three hours; the driver waits at your exit gate and the pace inside is yours. The House of Virgin Mary sits 8 km uphill from the site; add it at booking and we plan the order.
Shade is scarce on the marble avenue; hat, water and sunscreen matter from May to September. Tickets sell at both gates and card is accepted; payment ready keeps the entrance line quick.
Fare and payment
The fare is fixed in EUR when you book: the same number at noon or 3 AM, in traffic or on an empty road. You can pay the driver cash on the day or settle online by card. Cancel any time up to 24 hours before the ride at no charge.
The quote you receive is the price you pay, for up to seven passengers and their luggage. Card online or cash to the driver on the day; either way, nothing is prepaid. Cancellation is free up to a day ahead.
Asked often
Is the vehicle only for us?
Always. One booking, one Vito, your party alone, and the driver waits while you visit.
How long do we have inside?
That is your call within the agreed plan. Most visits run two to three hours; the driver waits at the gate meanwhile.
Arrange this transfer
The booking form takes a couple of minutes; WhatsApp +90 532 407 77 12 is there if you would rather talk to a person. Confirmation comes back the same day, and you pay on the day of the ride. Plans can change: cancelling is free until 24 hours out.
