Private Transfer from Otel Dorukhan to Ephesus Ancient City

If Ephesus Ancient City is on your plans from Otel Dorukhan, a private transfer keeps it simple: about 18 km in around 25 minutes, at an hour you pick, with a price fixed before you travel.

A few words on Ephesus Ancient City

The site is near Selcuk town, about 18 km from Kusadasi centre. Selcuk town, the Ephesus Museum, the Temple of Artemis column and St John's Basilica all sit within a few kilometres; many visitors combine two or three of them.

The Terrace Houses need a separate ticket inside the site and repay it with mosaics and frescoes. We can drop you at one gate and collect you at the other, so the walk runs one way, downhill.

How the drive goes

The trip breaks into two parts: the short local leg on the ring road out of the centre, and the highway run to Ephesus. You ride with your own party in an air-conditioned car, luggage in the back the whole way.

Included in the fare

• A fixed Ephesus fare you confirm before riding
• Your luggage rides from Otel Dorukhan to Ephesus Ancient City in the same boot
• A car that pulls up at Otel Dorukhan, not at a shared meeting point
• Collection at the Otel Dorukhan entrance, right at your door
• Mercedes Vito for your party alone (1-7 passengers)
• Meet-and-load at Otel Dorukhan; no walking to a pickup point

Meeting the driver

Meet your driver in the lobby or at the entrance; the car arrives a few minutes early and luggage goes straight in. There is no walking to a meeting point and no other passengers to wait for.

At Ephesus

The driver waits at the agreed gate while you tour the site. Mention it when booking so the driver plans the timing.

A typical visit gives you the full marble avenue, the library and the theatre in one unhurried pass. If the Terrace Houses interest you, decide inside; that part has its own turnstile.

Travel notes

Tickets are sold at both gates and card is accepted; having payment ready keeps the morning line short. The driver waits at your exit gate, so the pace inside is yours.

What the ride costs

You pay per vehicle, not per person: one EUR fare covers up to seven passengers with their bags. Card online or cash to the driver on the day; either way, nothing is prepaid. Cancel any time up to 24 hours before the ride at no charge.

Frequently asked 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.

Can we leave bags in the car?

Yes, the driver who brought you from Otel Dorukhan stays with the vehicle while you visit, so bags and anything you do not need inside stay on board.

Is the trip suitable for kids and older travellers?

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