Ephesus Ancient City Transfer from Zorlu Hotel (Kusadasi centre, Kusadasi)

Planning the leg between Zorlu Hotel and Ephesus Ancient City? The distance is roughly 18 km and the drive takes about 25 minutes. Below is how a private transfer on this route works in practice.

What the drive looks like

Your driver knows the Ephesus run well. Total distance is about 18 km, covered in roughly 25 minutes without stops.

Expect a straight run: the city ring road onto the Kusadasi-Selcuk highway out of Kusadasi centre, then motorway towards Ephesus. In season the first kilometres near the coast can be slow; the highway stretch is quick.

Meeting the driver

Collection is at your hotel door. On the day, the car reaches Zorlu Hotel five to ten minutes early and waits for you.

The driver arrives at the Zorlu Hotel entrance five to ten minutes before the agreed time and helps with bags. The driver helps with suitcases, fits any pre-booked child seats, and you are on the road within minutes of pickup.

Seats, space and bags

Seven seats, a sliding door and a proper boot: the Vito covers this route daily. The boot takes 6-7 large suitcases; cabin bags travel with you. Travelling with a baby? The seat is free and installed before the car reaches you.

Small things that help

There is little shade on the marble street; a hat, water and sunscreen matter from May to September. The marble underfoot is polished in places; shoes with grip beat sandals here, especially on the slope of Curetes Street.

Two to three hours covers the main avenue for most visitors. 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.

What the ride costs

For guests leaving Zorlu Hotel, the fare is fixed in EUR at booking. Pay the driver in cash (EUR, USD or TL) on the day, or by card online. Cancel free up to 24 hours ahead.

Pickup notes for Kusadasi centre

Centre pickups are quick once you know the one-way system, and our drivers do. The bazaar lanes are charming and tight; where a van cannot reach the door, pickup happens at the nearest corner, arranged with reception.

Frequently asked questions

Is food included?

No, but the driver can stop at a local restaurant on the way back; just say so on the day.

Where does the driver pick us up afterwards?

At whichever gate you exit. We agree the meeting point when you arrive, so there is no searching in the car park.

Is the trip suitable for kids and older travellers?

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