Ephesus Tours 2026

Choose Istanbul if you want a day trip with domestic flights or a multi-day package. If you are already in the region, compare Izmir and Kusadasi departures to avoid flying back through Istanbul. Check your exact hotel, airport or port pickup and where the tour finishes before booking.

Yes. The featured shared tour starts with European-side hotel pickup around 4:00 am, flies to Izmir and returns by a late evening flight. Allow the entire day, including airport time. The transfer from the Istanbul arrival airport to your hotel is excluded and must be arranged separately.

The Kusadasi day tour lists cruise-port pickup and drop-off, with a scheduled morning start and return around 4:00 pm. Send your ship name, docking port and all-aboard time before booking. The itinerary must be confirmed as suitable for your specific port call; standard hotel-tour timings may not fit every ship.

The listed day trip includes round-trip road transport from most Izmir hotels, the airport, port or bus terminal, a licensed English-speaking guide, lunch and entrance fees. Personal expenses and tips are excluded. Confirm the exact meeting point and final drop-off, particularly if connecting with a flight or cruise.

The featured shared day tours from Istanbul, Izmir and Kusadasi all list the House of the Virgin Mary, together with Ephesus, the Temple of Artemis and Isa Bey Mosque. Other packages may have different stops, so check the specific itinerary and included admission before booking.

No. They are not named in the featured shared day-tour itineraries. If you want to visit the Terrace Houses, request explicit confirmation of the visit, time allowance and admission charge before booking. General entrance-fee wording should not be taken as confirmation of an unlisted extra area.

Yes. The featured shared two-day package from Istanbul visits Pamukkale first, stays one night in Kusadasi and visits Ephesus on day two. The private two-day package runs in the opposite order. Both list domestic flights and an overnight stay, but their transfer coverage differs; compare the detailed inclusions.

Expect walking on marble streets, uneven paving and steps, with exposed outdoor areas. Wear supportive shoes and bring water and sun protection. Tell us about mobility needs before booking so the route can be assessed; accessibility depends on the specific sites and arrangements.

Shared tours follow a scheduled group route. Private packages provide the private guide, vehicle or transfers stated in their inclusions, and any requested changes need confirmation. For example, the private two-day Ephesus and Pamukkale package includes private sightseeing and the final Istanbul hotel transfer; the featured shared version excludes that final transfer.

Open the selected tour and check your travel date, party size, room arrangements where relevant, and included services. Request a dated written quote for the final price and availability. Compare optional visits, drinks, onward tickets and airport transfers separately instead of assuming every tour covers the same services.
