The drive from Ladies Beach
The route leaves Ladies Beach on the beach road up to the Degirmendere junction and onto the coastal highway and joins the main highway towards Ephesus. You leave Ladies Beach on the beach road up to the Degirmendere junction and onto the coastal highway, join the highway, and the next stop is Ephesus, roughly 30 minutes after pickup.
When you get there
Terrace Houses has its own turnstile inside; if it is on your list, budget an extra half hour. The driver waits; there is no clock-watching.
Small things that help
Terrace Houses needs a second ticket and a second queue inside; budget an extra half hour if it is on your list. Most visits take two to three hours; the driver waits at your exit gate and the pace inside is yours.
Paying for the ride
You pay per vehicle, not per person: one EUR fare covers up to seven passengers with their bags. There is nothing to pay in advance: cash to the driver, or card online. Cancellation is free until 24 hours before pickup.
Common questions
Can we stay longer than planned?
Within reason, yes: agree it with the driver on the day or with the office ahead of time.
Where do we meet the driver after?
At the gate you exit. We fix the meeting point when you arrive, so there is no searching the car park.
Do we need cash at the gate?
Cards are accepted at the main gates; a little cash helps for small purchases around the site.
