A few words on Ephesus Ancient City
Ephesus was a Roman port city of around 250,000 people. The classic plan starts at the upper (Magnesia) gate and walks downhill through the site to the lower gate, so you never climb back.
The route from Ladies Beach
Most of the 25 km is highway. You ride with your own party in an air-conditioned car, luggage in the back the whole way.
Out of Ladies Beach the car takes the coastal road past Degirmendere and the Kustur junction and settles onto the highway. Total distance is about 25 km, covered in roughly 30 minutes without stops.
