Private Ephesus Tours from Alacati and Cesme

Private Ephesus Tours from Alacati, Cesme Hotels and Cesme Cruise Port with licensed tour guides.

Alacati gained great importance in history because of its secure port. Alacati Port is one of the safest ports in the south of Cesme Peninsula. The history of Alacati dates back to 3000BC. Alacatı started to develop at the beginning of 1800's. At the beginning of the 1800s, the phylloxera disease hit the vineyards in Europe and made all the vineyards inefficient. Alacati benefited from this. After 1830, disease-free, quality grapes and wines, which grow on fertile soil of the region, are opened to the world from Alacati Port. The most important factor in the development of the economy of Alacati at that time was wine production and olive oil production.

In the past, the dominant population in Alacati was the Greeks. The Turks, who were very few until the end of the 1800s, After the independence war, Turkish population started to increase. With the arrival of Turkish community, the vineyards started to close down.

Alacati today, is popular resort town, located 79 kilometres south of Izmir. It has rich thermal springs and fertile farm lands producing anise, onion, artichoke. The region has the Mediterranean climate. The winters are rainy, the summers are hot and arid. The winter population is 10.000, and in the summer rises to 50,000. The wind in Alacati is very suitable for windsurfing. Alacati houses world windsurf championships. The city is adorned with beautiful Greek homes from 19th century. Some these houses are converted into luxury boutique hotels. Especially Turkish vacationers prefer to spend their vacation in Alacati.

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to book a private driver to take us from our hotel in Alacati (Viento Alacati) to Ephesus and House of Mary.

We do not need a tour guide, just a driver. Also, we do not need to include a lunch. We would just like 1 driver and the car to take us to the two places and back to our hotel.

Please could you let me know a price and if you have any availability for this option on Friday this week (13 September).

Thank you very much.

Scott
