Ephesus Ancient City
When we reach in Ephesus we start to explore this well-preserved ancient city. It was a city in ancient Greece on the coast of Ionia, 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) southwest of present-day Selçuk in İzmir Province, Turkey. It was built in the 10th century BC on the site of the former Arzawan capital by Attic and Ionian Greek colonists. During the Classical Greek era, it was one of twelve cities that were members of the Ionian League. The city came under the control of the Roman Republic in 129 BC.

5.00From the first contact, Smart Turkey Tours was very friendly and accommodating to our family’s needs. Despite an unexpected family emergency on our part that delayed our departure, the tour company stayed in touch and awaited our arrival. Aysegul was an excellent, knowledgeable guide and our whole family enjoyed our day with her. Highly recommend!
Great Private Tour!

5.00Mehmet is a great tour guide with so much knowledge. I suggest getting the option with your ticket to Ephesus included. He was there with a sign with my name, as soon as we get off the ship. We had a great multi course lunch and then learned about Turkish rugs. The rug school gave us a choice of drink and then tried to sell us rugs or jewelry, all made in Turkey. We had a very nice Mercedes van and you can pick where to be dropped off at!

5.00Our experience in Ephesus was a cruise highlight for our family. We toured Ephesus and then a carpet co-op (Bulbul) which is a MUST see experience. We learned about the art of weaving and Turkish culture. We had a private guide named Deniz and he was so knowledgeable and friendly.
Great experience!!

5.00Today we had the pleasure of having a private half day tour of Ephesus with Cagri Deniz. It was so much more and better than we expected. Our guide was very knowledgeable about all aspects of our tour and was a pleasure to spend (most of) the day with him. The driver was also great, pleasant and friendly and they were well prepared for the rain with umbrellas for us. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone while visiting Turkey!
Great tour!
