The visit to Ephesus, which included the Terrace Houses and the Temple of Artemis, is a good reason to take this tour.
After meeting your private guide at the cruise port or hotel in Kusadasi, you will take a beautiful 30-minute drive to Ephesus’s upper gate. Your private driver will wait for you at the lower gate while you and your guide walk down the hill.
The ancient city of Ephesus and the Terrace Houses will take 3 hours to see.
You will have a chance to spend a short time in the top souvenir area before going to the ancient site. At the lower gift area, you will have a lot more time.
As an expert guide leads you through the main streets of the city, you will see buildings made of marble that date back to between the 1st and 7th centuries AD.
The Great Theatre is the only ruin from the 3rd century BC, and it is also very important for Christians. Because Saint Paul the Apostle preached to the Ephesians there.
As you go through the Magnesian Gate, you will see businesses, government buildings, and a pillared Augustus Basilica at the State Agora.
As you walk down the main streets, your guide will tell you basic facts and history about fountain decorations, statues, and the famous temples of Emperors Domitian, Trajan, and Hadrian.
When you go through the Hercules Gate, you will see the Celsus Library. It was the third-largest library in ancient times, after Alexandria and Pergamum. It had more than 12,000 scroll books.
The Terrace Houses are a unique old place on the slopes of Bülbül Mountain (Coressus). They are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. They were where the rich people of Ephesus lived. Every corner of the Terrace Houses shows how rich the people of Ephesus were. There are frescoes, mosaics, and private heating systems. From the front door to the upper exit, there are 80 steps. There is a different fee to get into Terrace Houses, which is part of the archaeological site. (And this tour takes you there.)
As you get close to leaving the old city, there is a souvenir area with restrooms and shops.
After seeing the ancient site, it takes 5 minutes to get to the Museum of Ephesus, which changed into its current form with a new display layout in 2014. Many of the important artifacts found during excavations are on display in the museum. The halls are set up according to what they are about. Before going into the sections, tourists can also watch the Ephesus simulation at the entrance.
You will see Artemis statues, the marble heads of Philosopher Socrates and Emperor Marcus Aurelius, an ivory freeze next to the Terrace Houses, a bronze Egyptian priest, a bronze model of Eros on a dolphin, coins from Ephesus, and more. (The time is 30 minutes.)
It takes 5 minutes to get from the museum to the original site of the Artemis Temple, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World because it was so big and beautiful. You are going to see where the temple used to be and the columns that are still there from the 6th century BC. (The time is 30 minutes.)
Your guide will suggest a local place for lunch and tell you about traditional things to see and do while you are there.
Kusadasi and the area around it are seasonal and laid-back. And each site is only about 5 minutes away by car.
So, people have a good time when they go to places like a weaving school or a ceramic art center.
The tour then ends in Kusadasi.
