Surtel Hotel to Ephesus Ancient City Transfer: Private Door-to-Door Service

Private transfer from Surtel Hotel (Kusadasi Marina) to Ephesus Ancient City. About 19 km, roughly 25 min. Fixed price, Mercedes Vito, free cancellation.

If Ephesus Ancient City is on your plans from Surtel Hotel, a private transfer keeps it simple: about 19 km in around 25 minutes, at an hour you pick, with a price fixed before you travel.

Pickup notes for Kusadasi Marina

Cruise-day crowds concentrate around the terminal entrance; hotel forecourts a street back stay calm, and the driver knows which ones. On cruise-ship days the waterfront is busier, and drivers time the approach so loading stays quick.

About Ephesus

The Terrace Houses need a separate ticket inside the site and repay it with mosaics and frescoes. Hat, water and sunscreen matter from May to September, and an early start avoids both the heat and the cruise-ship rush.

What the drive looks like

The road out of Kusadasi Marina picks up the harbour boulevard up to the marina roundabout and stays on divided highway for most of the 19 km. The drive is unhurried: air conditioning on, luggage in the boot, a pause whenever you ask for one.

Travel notes

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. Tickets are sold at both gates and card is accepted; having payment ready keeps the morning line short.

Seats, space and bags

The same vehicle class covers every ride: Mercedes Vito, air conditioned, seven seats. Luggage allowance is generous: six to seven big cases plus hand luggage. Child seats are fitted free on request; leave ages and weights at booking.

The car on this route is always a Mercedes Vito or the same class. Six to seven large suitcases ride free in the boot. Travelling with a baby? The seat is free and installed before the car reaches you.

Paying for the transfer

One fare covers the vehicle, the driver, fuel and luggage. Cash on the day or card online: both work, and nothing is prepaid. Free cancellation until 24 hours before pickup keeps plans flexible.

You see the full price before you confirm, quoted in EUR for the whole vehicle. Card online or cash to the driver on the day; either way, nothing is prepaid. Cancel free up to 24 hours ahead.

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.

Do we need cash for tickets?

Cards are accepted at the main gates; a little cash helps for small purchases around the site.
