Suggested Tour Program (Duration: 5-6 Hours)
Meet with your guide in front of Basilica of St. John in Selcuk town. Visit the remains of the Basilica of St. John, see the tomb of St. John, Selcuk Castle and the remains of the Temple of Artemis. Afterwards drive to Bulbul Mountain to visit the House of Virgin Mary. It is believed that Virgin Mary and John the Apostle came to the Ancient City of Ephesus, after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Mary possibly spent her last years on top of a mountain near Ephesus. Then, you will continue on to visit ancient Ephesus, one of the most magnificent and best-preserved ancient sites in the world. See the Odeon, Basilica, Curetes Street, Hadrian Temple, Celsus Library, Marble Street and the Great Theater with a seating capacity of 25,000 people. At the Ephesus Experience Museum, guests can immerse themselves in the history of the ancient city through an 18-minute audiovisual show that showcases the wonders of Ephesus. Driving from Izmir and Izmir Airport to Ephesus (Selcuk)
The western region of Turkey is an easy place to drive a rental car. If you are planning to rent a car at Izmir Airport, make sure that your rental car has a toll sticker or a toll transponder to pay the highway tolls. You cannot pay the tolls any other way Note that you can not pay tolls with cash! As you exit from Izmir airport, follow the green signs for Aydın (not Izmir). Green sign is for toll road. The toll for the drive from the Izmir airport to Selcuk (Ephesus) is about 3 Turkish Liras. In the toll road there are no signs here for Selcuk or Ephesus, so follow the signs for Aydın. After 30 minutes drive from Izmir airport is the Selcuk turn, Leave the toll road by this exit, following signs to Selcuk and Efes (Ephesus). After passing the tollgates in 10 minutes you will reach Selcuk (Ephesus). If you are going to use our tour guide only service, you will meet your tour guide in front of Basilica of St. John, therefore look for a brown sign as ''Basilica of St. John''

Retired couple traveling with daughter and son-in-law. We will be staying in Selcuk (arriving July 9, departing July 12). We would like to arrange for a private guide for Ephesus. We would like to tour either July 10 (a cruise ship will be in Kusadasi) or the July 11 (better day because no cruise ship???). Please let me know availability and cost. Thank you, Bruce

I'll be in Ephesians on 28 October. I'll rent a car and come from Izmir. I want to purchase the halfday (4 hours) path. I have to go out from Ephesians at 2 p.m. because I have to take the road to Pamukkale. I don't want to drive at night. My preferences are tour guides that speaks portuguese or spanish. Otherwise, if there is no choice I accept someone who he speaks in English. How much is it? What Is the time I have to get there?
