I was very glad we choose private tour to ephesus. Thanks
This tour was booked as from a cruise ship arrival for 10 people. I must say we realy enjoyed we had a great time.
creo que efeso es uno de los lugares mas lindos del mundo ya que esta bien conservada el coliseo esta casi intacto la biblioteca esta casi todo en pie las personas que trabajan en el lugar son bastante atentos y casi todos halan ingles o espanol asi que no tienes problemas de comunicacion… el tour de dia completo creo que es suficiente para conocer bien esas dos partes mas importantes como efeso y la casa de la virgen maria y tambien les recomiendo este tour privado ya que los de la oficina el conductor de la van y el guia realmente son muy buenos hacen su trabajo omuy bien la verdad en mi pais tambien hay turismo pero no es tan organizado como en turquia o efeso estuvo todo muy lindo y muy bueno espero que vayan ustedes tambien desde aqui les dejo recomendado esta pagina y a estas personas 🙂
Our Guide Tuna was wonderful. She did a very good job of preparing us for the ephesus trip with commentary, delivered us promptly and picked us up just as scheduled. Really great job. We would use again and recommend your service Thanks!
Çamlık locomotive museum was just wonderful. My husband and I traveled by train from Selçuk. We had a short walk up the road to the museum, the turntable of which is clearly visible on satellite map. There we spent a glorious time climbing up into the cab of amazing locos from all over the place!
efeso la casa de la virgen maria fue todo maravilloso la verdad la antigua ciudad de efeso era realmente magica es magnifica la biblioteca es sorprendente es muy grande las casas terrazas fueron mis favoritas no entiendo como en esos tiempos tenian tanta imaginacion para hacer las cosas imaginence que en mi casa ni si quiera hay terrazas 🙂 hacemos un edificio y se nos cae en tres minutos y la biblioteca lleva anos y cientos de temblores y aun sigue intacta 🙂 la verdad si comenzara a explicar realmente que vi y que impresiones me lleve terminaria manana es magica la casa de la virgen maria es un lugar para descanzar el alma un lugar notable esta ubicada a un par de kilometros de efeso solamente pero esta dentro del bosque todo muy tranquilo verde nos encontramos una misa con un padre de la region como les dije todo fue muy espiritual y nos tomamos nuestro tiempo para rezar y reflexionar y el guia tuvo una pasciencia muy grande con nosotros no nos apresuro para nada era como si nosotros fueramos los duenos del tour 🙂 …. no me queda nada mas que decir que el tour privado de efeso por el dia completo queda 100 :% recomendado muchas gracias por ese maravilloso dia que nos entregaron…..
YOYO 🙂
el tour privado de medio dia es ideal para las personas que no tienen mucho tiempo o por que el crusero es de medio dia en kusadasi pero la verdad es suficiente para ver efeso la casa de la virgen maria y ademas recorrer un poco el centro de la ciudad lo recomiendo de todo corazon ya que vale la pena y no es caro
My husband and I were hungry for lunch. Our guide Taylan offered to take us to somewhere authentic… somewhere he would go for lunch, nothing too fancy, just regular everyday Turkish lunch.
We drove us up the road to Kirazli Village, which was even further away from our ship’s port, so we were happy knowing it wouldn’t be quite as touristy as everything else we’d seen in Kusadasi.
We did not go into the restaurant’s building, rather we chose to eat outside in the garden. There are many tables in the garden, all connected by a stone footpath and each with it’s own canopy. Some were made of cloth and others made of trellis and plants. Some had picnic style benches and other had cushioned seats. It was a very cute place.
We ordered based on the recommendations of our Turkish cabbie… rice wrapped in grape leaves (a turkish version of dolmades), goat cheese wrapped in phyllo and fried, eggplant and potato slices covered in yogurt sauce with dried hot chile peppers, and our main couse was sauteed beef with onions, tomatoes, and more hot peppers.
All of the food was fantastic. I can’t decide if my favorite thing was the goat cheese or the eggplant and yogurt sauce. We washed everything down with a couple of Turkish beers, Efes… and a shot of Raki, which is a digestive, similar to Sambuca. The service was quick, and the prices were excellent.
Taylan translated everything, and gave us a nice little lesson on Turkish culture while we ate!
It is a great experience just a fantastic ..
Thank you so much for everything you have done Taylan. I’ve enjoyed all
We wish we had spent more time at this Kirazli village. The wines made at the village are one of the best found in the region. Every street and corner is scenic and a candidate for a beautiful photograph. Spend time here, roam its alleys and if you have the time consider spending a couple of nights as well.
I booked a private tour for 8 people for a one day cruise stop in November, at the port of izmir my booking was done through email.
The tour of the Ancient City of Ephesus and the Terrace houses was incredible. A fabulous day! Thank you.
