Timing advice
Afternoon visits work outside peak summer: cruise groups leave after lunch and the light on the library turns warm late in the day. Add Terrace Houses, the museum or Virgin Mary and it becomes a half day; tell us at booking and the return shifts to match.
On the road to Ephesus
The route leaves Ladies Beach on the Ladies Beach road up to the coastal highway and joins the main highway towards Ephesus. You leave Ladies Beach on the Ladies Beach road up to the coastal highway, join the highway, and the next stop is Ephesus, roughly 30 minutes after pickup.
Two parts make up the trip: the short local leg on the Ladies Beach road up to the coastal highway, then the open highway run to Ephesus. Luggage rides in the back; you ride up front in air conditioning.
Other ways to go
Doing it yourself means a dolmus ride to the main road and a walk at the end. If you want the return settled before you leave Liberty Hotel, a booked car waits at the gate.
Rental cars work if you are touring anyway; for one day out, fuel plus gate parking narrows the gap to a driver. A booked return was fixed before you left the hotel.
A quick word on Ephesus Ancient City
The smart way to see Ephesus is downhill: start at the upper gate, walk the marble avenue to the lower gate, done. The walk most visitors take runs about two kilometres, top gate to bottom.
Good to know
Terrace Houses needs a second ticket and a second queue inside; budget an extra half hour if it is on your list. Shade is scarce on the marble avenue; hat, water and sunscreen matter from May to September.

Common questions
Can we stay longer than planned?

Can we leave bags in the car?
Yes, the driver who brought you from Liberty Hotel stays with the vehicle while you visit; anything you do not need inside stays on board.
