Private Transfer from Flora Apart Hotel to Ephesus Ancient City

Flora Apart Hotel sits in Long Beach, the Long Beach area, a string of resorts and beach clubs along the southern seafront. The run to Ephesus Ancient City covers roughly 25 km, about 30 minutes by private car along the beach road towards the Selcuk highway turn-off.

Route and road notes

Most of the 25 km is highway. The drive is unhurried: air conditioning on, luggage in the boot, a pause whenever you ask for one.

Out of Long Beach the car takes the beach road towards the Selcuk highway turn-off and settles onto the highway. In season the first kilometres near the coast can be slow; the highway stretch is quick.

Departure timing

Weekday mornings outside school holidays are the calmest window. The 30 minute drive makes an 08:00 start easy.

About Ephesus

Ephesus opens daily with longer hours in season. The classic visit is about two kilometres of marble avenue, upper gate in, lower gate out.

Taxi, shuttle or private car?

Public options stop at the main road below the site, which leaves a walk or a local taxi at the end. If you would rather have the return settled before you leave Flora Apart Hotel, a booked car waits at the gate.

Small things that help

Pick your gate before you arrive: starting at the upper (Magnesia) gate means the whole visit runs downhill to the lower gate, which is the easier walk and the order most guides suggest. The car drops you at one end and waits at the other, so there is no backtracking up the hill.

Terrace Houses has its own ticket inside the site and its own turnstile; if it is on your list, budget an extra half hour and a second queue. The marble underfoot is polished in places; shoes with grip beat sandals here, especially on the slope of Curetes Street.

Price and payment

The fare is agreed in EUR before the ride and does not move with traffic, weather or the clock. Pay the driver in cash (EUR, USD or TL) on the day, or by card online. Cancellation is free until a day before the scheduled pickup.

For guests leaving Flora Apart Hotel, the fare is fixed in EUR at booking. Nothing is charged in advance: the driver takes cash, or you pay by card online. Free cancellation until 24 hours before pickup keeps plans flexible.

Common questions

What should we bring?

Comfortable shoes for ancient stone, a hat and water in summer. Shade is scarce inside Ephesus, so sunscreen earns its place.

What is the cancellation rule?

Free cancellation until 24 hours before pickup. After that, message the office and we look at it case by case.

How long do we get at the site?

As long as the agreed plan allows, and the plan is yours. Most visits run two to three hours; the driver waits at the gate meanwhile.
