Private Transfer from Derici Hotel to Ephesus Ancient City

Derici Hotel is in Kusadasi centre, the compact centre where the bazaar, the harbour and Kaleici old town sit within a few streets of each other. A pre-booked car covers the 18 km to Ephesus Ancient City in around 25 minutes, collecting you at the hotel entrance.

The pickup, step by step

Meet your driver in the lobby or at the entrance; the car arrives a few minutes early and luggage goes straight in. You confirm the pickup hour when booking; changes are free up to the evening before.

How the drive goes

The road out of Kusadasi centre picks up the ring road that meets the Selcuk highway and stays on divided highway for most of the 18 km. From Derici Hotel it is the ring road that meets the Selcuk highway to the highway, then a steady drive to the destination, about 25 minutes in normal traffic.

Meeting and drop-off

A typical visit gives you the full marble avenue, the library and the theatre in one unhurried pass. The driver waits; there is no clock-watching.

The driver parks at the gate you choose, most guests take the upper one, and collects you at the other end when you come out. Tickets are bought at the gate.

How early to set off

Afternoon visits work too, especially outside July and August. Cruise groups thin out after lunch and the light on the Celsus Library turns warm towards closing time.

An 08:00 pickup puts you at the gate near opening time, ahead of the cruise groups that arrive mid-morning. Add the Terrace Houses, the Selcuk museum or the House of Virgin Mary and it becomes a half day; the driver adjusts the pickup accordingly.

The car you ride in

You ride in a Mercedes Vito, seven seats and air conditioning included. Luggage allowance is generous: six to seven big cases plus hand luggage. Water is on board; infant, child and booster seats are free on request.

Practical notes for Ephesus

The marble underfoot is polished in places; shoes with grip beat sandals here, especially on the slope of Curetes Street. The driver waits at your exit gate, so the pace inside is yours.

Price and payment

You see the full price before you confirm, quoted in EUR for the whole vehicle. You can pay the driver cash on the day or settle online by card. Cancellation is free until 24 hours before pickup.

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. Settle it in cash on the day or online by card before the ride. Cancellation stays free until 24 hours before the scheduled pickup.
