A quick word on Ephesus Ancient City
Ephesus is the region's headline site: the Celsus Library, the Great Theatre, Curetes Street and the Terrace Houses, with the House of Virgin Mary 8 km up the mountain. The Celsus Library facade is the postcard shot; morning light hits it before the crowds arrive.
There is little shade inside the site. We drop you at one end and collect you at the other.

How the road goes
From Club Scala Nuova the car follows the ring road out of the centre and settles onto the highway. In season the first stretch near the coast can crawl; once on the motorway it is a steady cruise.
The route leaves Kusadasi centre on the ring road out of the centre and joins the main highway towards Ephesus. Roughly 25 minutes end to end.
The Ephesus end of the ride
Most guests walk the site downhill, upper gate to lower gate. We drop you at one and collect at the other, so you never walk back.
Good to know
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.
What it costs
Every quote is a fixed EUR fare covering car, driver, fuel and luggage together. Payment is cash to the driver or card online, whichever suits you. Cancellation is free up to a day ahead.
The quote you receive is the price you pay, for up to seven passengers and their luggage. The driver takes cash in EUR, USD or TL; paying online by card works too. Cancellation is free until 24 hours before pickup.
Questions we hear
Is it OK for kids and grandparents?
