Private transfer Akman City Hotel to Ephesus Ancient City. About 18 km / 25 min from Kusadasi centre. Licensed Vito vans, fixed price.
Ephesus Ancient City is the run: from Akman City Hotel in Kusadasi centre it is ~18 km, about 25 minutes in a private Vito booked before you travel.
Good to know
Tickets sell at both gates and card is accepted; payment ready keeps the entrance line quick. Terrace Houses needs a second ticket and a second queue inside; budget an extra half hour if it is on your list.
Start at the upper gate and the whole visit runs downhill to the lower one. Most visits take two to three hours; the driver waits at your exit gate and the pace inside is yours.
How the road goes
Your driver handles the routing. The ride is direct; a coffee or fuel stop is yours to ask for at any point.
How we collect you
Collection is right at your hotel door. Nothing special is needed from reception; our drivers do this run daily and know the entrances.
Pickup is at the Akman City Hotel entrance or reception drive. No meeting point, no other passengers.
Meeting and drop-off
We drop you at the gate you choose, most pick the upper one, and collect you at the other end. We drop you at one and collect at the other, so you never walk back.
Add the House of Virgin Mary or the Selcuk museum if you like; one line at booking arranges it. Two to three hours is the normal visit; add Terrace Houses or Virgin Mary for a half day.
Ephesus in brief
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 Great Theatre faces the old harbour road; from the top rows you can still trace the line where the sea once reached.
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.
The vehicle
For this route we send a Mercedes Vito: seven seats and room for real luggage. Golf bags, buggies and wheelchairs travel free when noted on the booking. Child seats arrive fitted free; just leave the children's ages on the form.
