Day 4: Ephesus Tour – Fly back to Istanbul

After breakfast, check out of your hotel around 8:30 am. You’ll be picked up for an enriching full-day tour of Ephesus, one of the best-preserved ancient cities and once a major Greek port and cultural center.

Your tour begins with a walk along the Curetes Street, the main avenue of Ephesus, leading you to some of its most remarkable sites. One of the first stops is the Temple of Hadrian, a beautifully preserved structure with intricate reliefs depicting the city’s founding myths. Continuing on, you’ll reach the impressive Great Theater, which could seat up to 25,000 people and is still known for its acoustics. Here, your guide will share stories about the theater’s role in hosting gatherings, dramas, and even gladiatorial contests.

Next, you’ll see the Trajan Fountain, where you can admire its detailed carvings and learn about its significance in the city’s water supply system.

After lunch at a local restaurant, the tour continues to the House of the Virgin Mary, a sacred site nestled on a hillside. This modest stone house is believed to be the place where Mary, mother of Jesus, spent her final years. It remains a pilgrimage site and a place for quiet reflection.

The journey then takes you to the Temple of Artemis. Although only a few columns remain, this once-grand temple was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and a powerful symbol of the city’s importance in ancient times.

Your final stop will be the Isa Bey Mosque, a stunning example of Seljuk architecture from the 14th century, with beautiful courtyards and intricate tile work that reflect the blend of cultures in the region.

At the end of the tour, you’ll be transferred to Izmir Airport for your late evening flight to Istanbul, departing between 7:00 – 10:00 pm. The flight to Istanbul takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. END OF OUR SERVICE AND TOURS.

    My partner and I found One Nation Travel and emailed to find out about tours to Turkey. We were so pleased to receive very quick and informative responses from Bilal so we booked a 4 day tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia, Pamukkale and Ephesus. From the start to the finish we were incredibly happy. The tours and guides had wonderful knowledge.

    Once again thank you so much to Bilal and One Nation travel

    Hope to see you again 🙂

    My wife, daughter, and I had a great adventure on our Tour of Turkey. The tour package we chose included seeing the Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Ephesus, etc… We booked it online, and our contact person Can Berber was very professional, courteous, organized, and prompt will all of our questions and inquiries. She kept us well informed of what to expect and all the details of our trip. Everything from pickups, fabulous hotels, to historical and cultural information to flights and motorised transport. The tour guides are very experienced and went out of their to help make everyone happy. I would recommend Onenationtravel.com to anyone!

    Thank you One Nation Travel for our perfect visit to Turkey. Everything was excellent. From picking us up at the airport to all transfers everywhere they were fantastic. On time always and excellent guides everywhere. They are very helpful and can adjust your itinerary to suit your individual requirements. I will recommend One Nation Travel to anyone.

  11. Vinay A

    We took a 4 days package which covered Cappadocia, pamukkale, kusadasi and ephesus. All the itinerary was perfectly planned.The booking was very smooth but I hesitated it before as I was unfamiliar with the tour agency but I took a chance and went a head. as soon as I booked, Mr Bilal looked after my domestic air tickets and made all required arrangements and a day before Can Berber explained me my package details once again. Everything was perfect from the day one to the last date. Even the tiny problems were solved within minutes of a phone call made which was very impressive. i would strongly recommend one tour nation tour agency to others.

  12. Sunil G

    Dear Bilal,

    We just returned back to India after a 2 weeks trip to Turkey and Jordan. I would like to thank you and Can Bieber for the wonderful arrangement that your agency made during our full day tour of Istanbul as well as our 4 day trip to Pamukkale /Ephesus/Cappadocia. We had great time and was very happy with our first balloon ride.

    We request you to please inform the officials of your Ephesus team that we really enjoyed the trip thanks to very passionate,very knowledgeable and energetic guide Marcy. She made buildings and artifacts which were 2000 years old; almost come to life….

    Our only not so good experience was when we landed at Cappadocia at around 12 in the night and the team who had come to receive us was not well organized as we reached the hotel heaven cave at 2.30 in the night

    Once again thanks a lot for all your help and being so patient with us during the entire process. If asked by our friends or relatives we will have no hesitation in recommending your agency to them.

    Regards

    Sunil

  13. Sueanne K.

    We had a wonderful time in Turkey, and it was in great part due to Mr. Berber’s excellent planning of our trip. The holiday cave hotel he chose for us in Cappadocia was absolutely perfect: great location and very helpful staff. The hot air balloon ride over the ancient ruins was breathtaking! It was well worth the price.

  14. Dayle B.

    I would like to thank you very much for your arrangements during our trip which we have made it with you. We were very happy with all the services; transport, accommodation, guiding during 4 Days trip by visiting of Cappadocia, Pamukkale, and Ephesus. At the beginning of our trip we thought that will be very hectic and tiring for us, but just the opposite it has been very enjoyable and relaxable with us. So we can recommend you to book your package with this travel agent.

  15. Mary Grace S.

    First time to travel solo and they made my experience so fun! Coordination, hotels, tour guides are all superb. Never had any trouble and I didn’t even have worry a single bit as they handled everything professionally. All tour guides are knowledgeable and make jokes which makes the tour more fun. All land transportation arrangements are also on time (pick up and drop off). I was hesitant at first since the tour was cheaper than other companies but good thing I went ahead and chose them as my travel agent. Will definitely go with them again on my next turkey trip.

  16. Jeff P.

    We had 4 days to visit Turkey and booked a full 4-day schedule to see Cappadocia, Ephesus, Pamukkale and Hieropolis and quickly fly back to Istanbul to catch our flight on the 5th day.

    Our tour coordinator met us on the first day and exchanged contact info so that he would be easy to reach. This was very useful as on the second day, due to one of the airlines’ fault, we missed our connection in Istanbul when transferring to Izmir, which then delayed everything as we had a tour scheduled for the next morning which we would miss. When contacted, the tour coordinator at the agency was quick to react and make changes to accommodate us such that we could still see everything we had planned and still get back to Istanbul in time for our flight.

    Our only recommended improvement would have been that they include the transport back to our hotel from the airport but it’s ok as they had clearly told us that this was not included so we planned ahead.

    Our travels were thus (almost ) worry-free – thanks to their Good work.

    Recommended.

    If you are traveling solo and on a shoe string, OneNation is the best choice for you. Affordable with an amazing service. Thank you Can Berber for showing your country .
