How pickup works at Villa Ephesus Hotel

Meet your driver in the lobby or at the entrance; the car arrives a few minutes early and luggage goes straight in. The office confirms the driver's name and plate on WhatsApp, so you know exactly who to look for.

Pickup is at the hotel's main entrance or reception drive. The driver helps with suitcases, fits any pre-booked child seats, and you are on the road within minutes of pickup.

When you get there

Tickets are bought at the gate on the day. Tickets are bought at the gate.

Entrance is straightforward: the driver parks at the gate you choose, agrees a meeting time, and is waiting when you come out. If the Terrace Houses interest you, decide inside; that part has its own turnstile.

When should you leave?

Two to three hours inside Ephesus is the common pace. The 25-minute drive means you can still be back at Villa Ephesus Hotel for lunch.

Seats, space and bags

For this route we send a Mercedes Vito: seven seats and room for real luggage. Six to seven large suitcases ride free in the boot. Families get free infant, child or booster seats; write the ages on the booking form.

On the day itself

There is little shade on the marble street; a hat, water and sunscreen matter from May to September. The driver waits at your exit gate, so the pace inside is yours.

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