From Scala Nuova Beach Hotel the car follows the hill road down to the D515 coastal highway and settles onto the highway. You leave Yavansu on the hill road down to the D515 coastal highway, join the highway, and the next stop is Ephesus, roughly 26 minutes after pickup.
Other ways to go
Coach tours run on the coach's timetable, with stops set for everyone. If you want the return settled before you leave Scala Nuova Beach Hotel, a booked car waits at the gate.
Why Ephesus works
Open daily with longer hours in season. The walk most visitors take runs about two kilometres, top gate to bottom.
Good to know
The House of Virgin Mary sits 8 km uphill from the site; add it at booking and we plan the order. Most visits take two to three hours; the driver waits at your exit gate and the pace inside is yours.
Tell us which gate you want to exit; the car waits there while you walk the site once, top to bottom. Tickets sell at both gates and card is accepted; payment ready keeps the entrance line quick.
What it costs
You pay per vehicle, not per person: one EUR fare covers up to seven passengers with their bags. Cash on the day or card online: both work, and nothing is prepaid. You can cancel free until 24 hours before the ride.
You see the full price before you confirm, quoted in EUR for the whole vehicle. The driver takes cash in EUR, USD or TL; paying online by card works too. Cancellation is free until a day before the scheduled pickup.
