Private Tour: SKIP-THE-LINE Ephesus Tour From Izmir Port or Hotel

Our private Ephesus tours are tailor-made to your interests and timeframe. The ruins of Ephesus attract travelers from all over the world, therefore every year almost two million tourists visit this open-air museum.

Discover the fascinating history and architecture of Ephesus on a private tour from Izmir port, airport, or hotel in Izmir.

After a comfortable pick-up from the port or airport, you'll travel in a private vehicle to the ancient city of Ephesus, one of the best-preserved classical cities in the Aegean.

During the tour, you'll explore the highlights of the site, including the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, and the Temple of Artemis. Your knowledgeable guide will share insights into the city's rich history and culture as you stroll through the marble streets and admire the stunning monuments.

The tour also includes a visit to the nearby House of the Virgin Mary, where it is believed that Mary spent the last years of her life.
