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. We drop you at one end and collect you at the other.
On the road to Ephesus
From ilayda Hotel the car follows the city ring road onto the Kusadasi-Selcuk highway and settles onto the highway. In season the first stretch near the coast can crawl; once on the motorway it is a steady cruise.
Fare and payment
The fare is fixed in EUR when you book: same price at noon or 3 AM. Pay the driver cash (EUR, USD or TL) on the day, or by card online. No prepayment, free cancellation until 24 hours before pickup.
Common questions
Are entrance fees included?
No; tickets are paid at the gate. We provide the car, the driver and the timing, and you choose what to see inside.
Can we get dropped in town on the way back?
Usually yes: the centre, a restaurant or the port works if arranged with the driver or office.
