Private Ephesus and the Terrace Houses

Your half-day tour in Ephesus begins with a departure from the port, followed by a scenic drive to the Ancient City. Then, explore the highlights of Ephesus Ancient City with your professional guide, including the impressive amphitheater and the main walkway of the city. After, visit the Terrace Houses, where you can admire intricate mosaics and frescoes that offer a glimpse into the lives of Ephesus’ wealthy residents.

Later, enjoy some free time to explore further within the Ancient City. If the site is not crowded, you may also have the opportunity to visit the Ephesus 3D Museum, which offers a virtual reconstruction of the ancient city. Due to its limited capacity, visits are organized in small groups of 20 at 15-minute intervals, so inclusion of this visit may depend on timing and crowd levels.

After that, you wil; return to the port, concluding your tour.

The tour includes entrance fees to Ancient Ephesus and the Terrace Houses, professional guiding, transportation and parking fees, and VAT.

For guests with limited mobility, a special route starting and ending at the lower gate can be arranged. This ensures guests avoid the steep and slippery roads of Ephesus while still seeing the amphitheater, the main walkway, Terrace Houses, and the Temple of Diana.

Please note that with this arrangement, some sites--including the Temple of Hadrian, the Fountain of Trajan, the Street of Curetes, the Monument of Memmius, the Temple of Domitian, and the Odeon--will not be included.
