Route notes
Season traffic can slow the first kilometres near the coast; once on the motorway the 25 km pass steadily. From Sunday Beach Hotel the car follows the beach road up to the Degirmendere junction and onto the coastal highway, picks up the motorway, and runs non-stop to Ephesus unless you want a break.
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. The ride is direct; a coffee or fuel stop is yours to ask for at any point.
The Ephesus end of the ride
Most guests walk the site downhill, upper gate to lower gate. Two to three hours is the normal visit; add Terrace Houses or Virgin Mary for a half day.
Before you go
Tell us which gate you want to exit; the car waits there while you walk the site once, top to bottom. The marble is polished underfoot; shoes with grip beat sandals, especially on the Curetes Street slope.

Questions we hear
Can we get dropped in town on the way back?

Do we need cash at the gate?
Cards are accepted at the main gates; a little cash helps for small purchases around the site.
How long do we have inside?
That is your call within the agreed plan. Most visits run two to three hours; the driver waits at the gate meanwhile.
