Is the Museum Pass The Aegan sufficient to cover the Biblical Seven Churches sites?
Ephesus Travel Guide - 7 years ago
Thank you very much for your question.
The Museum Pass Aegan does not cover all the 7 churches mentioned in the Book of Revelation.
The churches that are coevered:
Smyrna, Pergamon, Ephesus, Laodicea

But if you buy Museum Pass Turkey, that covers them all.

The Izmir museum pass sells for 75 lira. Why is it advertised at 325?
Ephesus Travel Guide - 6 years ago
Museum Pass costs the same all over Turkey.
325TL is 2020 price. 10 years ago it used to cost 75 Turkish Liras.
Imagine entrance fee for Ephesus Ancient City is 100tl.
If requested you can visit the following website:
https://muze.gov.tr/urun-detay?CatalogNo=WEB-MSP01-26-008

As you will be seeing on the web site. Museum Pass Aegean costs 325 Turkish Liras.

Greetings to you from Ephesus.
The museum pass Aegean does not cover the museums in Istanbul. There is Mueseum Pass Turkey which covers both locations. We recommend you to get Museum Pass Turkey for both destinations.

I'm confused. Below the picture of the pass I read "Museum Pass Aegean is available to foreign visitors and residents at museum and archeological site ticket offices. All you need is your passport and 360 Turkish Liras." A few lines below that I read "Museum Pass Aegean costs 1750 Turkish Liras." So, is it 360 or 1750 Turkish Liras?
Ephesus Guide - 3 years ago
Thank you very much for your attention.
We missed to change the price.
The current price for Museum Pass Aegean is 1750tl
