Overview

After meeting your guide at the port of Kusadasi, you will start your private tour with a 20-minute drive to Ephesus. We will start by visiting one of the main highlights in Turkey, Ephesus. One of the 12 cities of Ionian League (an ancient Greek district on the western coast of Asia Minor). As a port city, it was a major departure point for trade routes into Asia Minor.

Walk through history along marble streets lined with wonderful public buildings, among them the Baths of Scholastica, the Library of Celsus, it was built in the beginning of the 2nd century A.D. by Gaius Julius Aquila to be a memorial to his father Gaius Julius Celsus Polemanus, the proconsul of Province of Asia. Also, here you can see the Temple of Hadrian and The Grand Theatre these are two of the most impressive buildings in Ephesus. The Grand theatre was built in 3rd century B.C and it was later expanded to 24.000 spectators by the Romans in the 1st century A.D.

After visiting Ephesus, drive up to the pretty old Turkish-Orthodox village Sirince this gorgeous village is located in the mountains that surround Kusadasi, where anyone will enjoy the impressive wine yards and peach trees. The village has synthesis of Turk-Greek culture we will visit a mosque and Orthodox Church. All the narrow streets of the village belong to the women selling handcrafts of all kinds of olive oil.
