Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
Our tour was incredible, we had a great time!
The tour of the ruins was quite spectacular and extensive, with a re-enactment of the gladiators at the end of the tour. The ruins were up-close, not roped off, and you could actually touch them! I was especially enamored with the library ruins.
a very enjoyable half day,would not hesitate to recommend this tour.
Cuando entre por la puerta de la calle del Gimnasio ya estaba emocionado. Estaba en Efeso, una ciudad mítica, donde fue sitio de peregrinación por su templo a la Diosa Artemisa, donde se cree que huyó y murió la Virgen María (aunque los Ortodoxos dicen que murió en Jerusalem) y desde donde San Juan empezó a predicar la palabra de Cristo, vamos historia por todos los lados; el Gran Teatro es exuberante, la calle del Puerto, la Vía Marmórea, la calle de los Curetas, las casas de la Colina, la casa del Amor, la Librería de Celsius, las dos Agoras, el Odeón, la Basílica, tanto, tanto, tanto y tan bueno. El hacer algo productivo para la sensibilidad, tu corazón y la cultura no tiene precio y como ejemplo las ruinas de una ciudad mítica como es Efeso.
A cinco km tienes la casa donde se cree que vivió y murió la virgen María (realmente un sitio con una energía especial), según vas hacía Selcuk tienes un camino que te lleva a la Basílica de los Siete durmientes (otro sitio mítico y milagrero cristiano, aunque se demostró después el porque de “los siete durmientes”) y aconsejo acercarse a Selcuk, un castillo cruzado domina la ciudad, está la Mezquita de Isa Bey y las cuatro piedras que fuera del impresionante templo de Artemisa, razón por la que Efeso era sitio de peregrinación, una de las siete maravillas del mundo antiguo y que ardió el día que nació Alejandro Magno, y la tumba de San Juan, y la iglesia de San Juan . Me hubiera gustado dar una vuelta por la ciudad, pero las piernas ya no estaban para mas. Desde luego una experiencia única e irrepetible. los recomiendo de todo corazon son muy buenos en lo que hacen es una linda y exitante experiencia que creo que todos tenemos que vivir y ver en la vida….
Este era un atractivo casi se me pasa, pero mi vuelo lo recomendó. Estoy tan contento de haber ido! La visita de las ruinas fue bastante espectacular y amplio, con una re-promulgación de los gladiadores al final de la excursión. Las ruinas fueron de cerca, no acordonada y la verdad es que se podían tocar!!! Yo estaba especialmente enamorado de la biblioteca ruinas no en todas partes se pueden tocar aca incluso nos piden que toquemos las ruinas por que dicen que se siente y entiende diferente, tambien quiero aprovechar de dar las gracias a todos que trabajaron para hacer este tour privado inolvidable. Tambien quiero recomendar este tour por que realmente aparte de ser comodo es muy economico ademas tambien existe la opcion de hacerlo a la manera que uno quiere puede cambiar las horas de entrada y salida a los museos o cambiarlas por la hora de almuerzo, no hay que olvidar que la comida turca es muy rica yo ya la habia probado antes pero no tanta variedad alla en turquia fue un descontrol 🙂 creo que subi mucho de peso pero la verad lo vale a concho, ademas de eso despues de la excurcion compre un libro de cocina turca y en castellano para seguir haciendolo en mi casa. como dije al principio gracias a todas las personas que hicieron posible esta magica visita a efeso….
Thanks so much for the great day
My husband and I had arranged the tour in advance of our arrival by cruise ship. We made the arrangements via e-mail and all of our questions were responded to quickly and professionally.
We generally book tours through the cruise line but are so glad we make the choice to do this private tour. The transportation was top of the line and our guide and driver were outstanding. We thought it was an excellent value as well.
Sirince Village ( Şirince Köyü)
This was well worth the money. Emrah was the bet tour guide. Very professional (he was in a suit) and so very nice and friendly. All in all this was the best tour we did.
Sirince is a nice contrast to ruins, history, and the "hustle and bustle" of Kusadasi. It's a fairly short drive up into the hills surrounding Selcuk, although the roads are narrow with lots of tight curves.
