A few words on Ephesus Ancient City
The Terrace Houses need a separate ticket inside the site and repay it with mosaics and frescoes. The classic visit is about two kilometres of marble avenue, upper gate in, lower gate out.
The route from Ladies Beach
Most of the 25 km is highway. The driver watches the traffic and chooses the quickest sensible line.

Meeting the driver
The driver meets you in the lobby or at the forecourt, whichever suits Erciyes Hotel better. For families, child seats are already fitted when the car arrives.
The driver arrives at the Erciyes Hotel entrance five to ten minutes before the agreed time and helps with bags. The driver helps with suitcases, fits any pre-booked child seats, and you are on the road within minutes of pickup.
Arriving at Ephesus
Tickets are bought at the gate on the day. Two to three hours covers the main street; add the Terrace Houses or the House of Virgin Mary for a half day.
Good to know on the day
Two to three hours covers the main avenue for most visitors. The House of Virgin Mary sits 8 km up the mountain from the site; if you want it on the same trip, mention it at booking and the driver plans the order.
Price and payment
You pay per vehicle, not per person: one EUR fare covers up to seven passengers with their bags. There is nothing to pay in advance: cash to the driver, or card online. Cancel free up to 24 hours ahead.
Common questions
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.
Can we add another stop?
Yes. Sirince village, the Temple of Artemis and restaurant stops are common add-ons. Mention it at booking and the driver plans the timing.
