The drive from Ladies Beach
Out of Ladies Beach we take the beach road up to the Degirmendere junction and onto the coastal highway, then the highway for the bulk of the 25 km. Roughly 30 minutes end to end.
From Umay Pansion the car follows the beach road up to the Degirmendere junction and onto the coastal highway and settles onto the highway. From Umay Pansion the car follows the beach road up to the Degirmendere junction and onto the coastal highway, picks up the motorway, and runs non-stop to Ephesus unless you want a break.
How alternatives compare
Doing it yourself means a dolmus ride to the main road and a walk at the end. A Vito goes door to door on your clock.
Rental cars work if you are touring anyway; for one day out, fuel plus gate parking narrows the gap to a driver. If you want the return settled before you leave Umay Pansion, a booked car waits at the gate.
About Ephesus
The Celsus Library facade is the postcard shot; morning light hits it before the crowds arrive. Selcuk town, the Ephesus Museum, the Temple of Artemis column and St John's Basilica all sit within a few kilometres; many guests combine two.
Good to know
Start at the upper gate and the whole visit runs downhill to the lower one. The marble is polished underfoot; shoes with grip beat sandals, especially on the Curetes Street slope.
Tickets sell at both gates and card is accepted; payment ready keeps the entrance line quick. We drop you at one end and collect at the other, so no backtracking.
