Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
Travelled to turkey last week and decided to book a private tour for my family, it was excelled. Brilliant sites and ruins, tour guide spoke brilliant English and was a lot of fun.
This was one of the best and most economical tours of our cruise and we certainly recommend that anyone visiting kusadasi consider this tour.
Our day went perfectly, our guide was open and flexible to letting us tour at our own pace and we always seemed at least two steps ahead of the large tour groups..
Ephesus – the city established in 10 BC is a must visit for anyone having an interest in history. What is amazing is the way one can almost walk through the streets of the city and imagine how the city was organised in those time by seeing the ruins on both sides.
The site is surprisingly easy to access from Selcuk (5 km) or Kusadasi (15 km)
Be sure to take ample sun protection and water on the tour since one cannot get anything in the middle of the ruins,
Absolutely amazing tour tour guide selcuk was incredibly knowledgeable interesting, informative and personable. He made the day thoroughly enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour and thank you for such a wonderful way to see this impressive famous ephesus.
visitamos las siete ciudades y este es, de lejos, el más destacado de la excursión. es la parte de la excursión que hace que valga la pena. Me gustó mucho la excursión (e incluso fuimos tres días más tarde).
Recomiendo hacerlo con un guía turístico. tantas cosas que ver y tantos detalles.
Fuimos durante la temporada baja y esto era mucho mejor que durante la temporada alta. Había muy poca gente y la temperatura era maravillosa, quizás un poco frío. El único problema con la temporada baja es que corre el riesgo de lluvia. La ciudad de kusadasi es realmente un pueblo que parece ciudad pero la verdad es muy linda y bien ordenada me gusto el mar la vista y su gente.
excursión muy recomendable.
在导游的精彩的介绍中，我和家人觉得仿佛我们回到了2千年前的古希腊和古罗曼时代。诺大的剧场，公共澡堂，还有藏书万卷的图书馆。真是不虚此行！
I don’t think I could have made a better choice. We had a great time!
La visita a Efeso, è una tra le più straordinarie che si possa fare in Turchia.
La sua splendida architettura era dedicata alla dea Artemide, il suo grande tempio, era considerato come una delle Sette Meraviglie del Mondo Antico. Efeso è di grande interesse per i cristiani dato che c’è la casa della Vergine Maria, si ritiene che la Vergine Maria venne a Efeso per sfuggire alla persecuzione cristiana e vivere gli ultimi giorni della sua vita. La casa dove si pensa abbia vissuto si trova in cima a una montagna e può essere visitata liberamente.
Abbiamo ammirato il teatro , il ginnasio, i bagni, l’agorà e la biblioteca di Celso, che custodiva 12.000 rotoli nelle nicchie delle pareti. La biblioteca, recentemente restaurata, è stata costruita in onore di Celso Gaio.
Ultima delle meraviglie che abbiamo visitato durante il nostro tour della Turchia, Efeso ci è particolarmente piaciuta, inoltre è uno dei più grandi e meglio conservati siti dell’antichità.
Meta di tantissimi turisti che con le navi da crociera approdano ad Izmir tutto belissimo ritornare cuesti anni si dio lo voli
