The road to Ephesus

The road out of Ladies Beach picks up the beach road up to the Degirmendere junction and onto the coastal highway and stays on divided highway for most of the 25 km. The drive is unhurried: air conditioning on, luggage in the boot, a pause whenever you ask for one.

Your driver knows the Ephesus run well. The driver watches the traffic and chooses the quickest sensible line.

Small things that help

Two to three hours covers the main avenue for most visitors. The driver waits at your exit gate, so the pace inside is yours.

How early to set off

An 08:00 pickup puts you at the gate near opening time, ahead of the cruise groups that arrive mid-morning. The site opens early, and from Ladies Beach the drive is only about 30 minutes.

What the booking covers

  • Free cancellation on your Ephesus Ancient City ride until 24 hours out
  • One car for your party alone on the Ephesus run
  • Bags loaded at Asena Hotel, unloaded at Ephesus Ancient City
  • Private vehicle, air conditioned, your group alone
  • The same Vito and driver for the whole Ephesus run from Asena Hotel

About the vehicle

The same vehicle class covers every ride: Mercedes Vito, air conditioned, seven seats. Oversized items like golf bags, boards or wheelchairs travel free if you note them at booking. Group of eight or more? A second Vito runs at the same per-vehicle fare when arranged in advance.

For this route we send a Mercedes Vito: seven seats and room for real luggage. Six to seven large suitcases ride free in the boot. Water is on board and child seats come free when you note the ages.

Fare, payment and cancellation

What you see at booking is what you pay: the EUR fare is set when you confirm, and traffic or the hour never moves it. You can pay the driver cash on the day or settle online by card. No deposit is taken, and cancelling is free until a day before.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a guide on the trip?

The service is transport with a local driver, not a guided tour. If you want a licensed guide as well, mention it when booking and we arrange one separately.

Where does the driver pick us up afterwards?

At whichever gate you exit. We agree the meeting point when you arrive, so there is no searching in the car park.

Is the trip suitable for kids and older travellers?

Yes. The car collects you at Asena Hotel, the pace is yours, and for Ephesus we can plan the gentler walking option.
