Kusadasi or Selcuk: Full-Day Ephesus Tour with Lunch

Ephesus in the Eyes of Time (After the style of Nâzım Hikmet) We walked where emperors walked, where traders whispered silvered deals, where poets carved verses into stone— but we did not walk alone. Nâzim, child of Ephesus, grew up among the ruins, his bicycle spinning where chariots once roared, his feet knowing every worn marble step, his voice carrying the weight of centuries. With a sweep of his hand, columns rose, frescoes glowed, the library filled with scholars, the theater echoed with cheers. A city not lost, but waiting— and he unlocked its gates. And there, among the ghosts of Rome, Garfield the cat, wise and golden, watched us with the knowing eyes of a god turned to fur and whiskers. We climbed to the House of Mary, where the air was thick with quiet prayers. We stood before Artemis, her temple a whisper of what once was, but still, she stood. And always, Nâzim— gentle, watchful, sure-footed, guiding, steadying, sharing. A bridge between time and today. T

We hadden een geweldige dag met onze gids Güray en onze groep van 19 personen. Door de kleine groep konden we Güray ook goed verstaan, hij had ook een duidelijke en luide stem en gaf ons goede en boeiende uitleg over de omgeving. Hij nam ook zijn tijd voor alles, we waren ruim 3 uur in de oude stad Efes waar normaal slechts 2uur wordt besteed. We kregen ook voldoende tijd om foto's te nemen. Ook tijdens de rit kregen we veel info. Sirinci was eveneens geweldig leuke wandeling. ook de tapijtweverij was Topervaring, ze proberen wel nadien te verkopen maar niet opdringerig. Het fijne aan deze toer is dat alles is inbegrepen, vervoer, tickets, lunch (die trouwens ook heeel lekker was)...enkel de drankjes betaal je nog zelf, maar aan normale prijzen. Deze toer is écht een aanrader, rijden ook in comfortabele mercedes busje met airco en voorzichtige ervaren chauffeur. Vaak zie je goedkopere prijzen maar daar zitten dan geen tickets of lunch bij... thx to Güray

Enjoyed this trip a lot, Mel was a great guide and well-informed, and provided great recommendations. Small group size was ideal, and we saw lots of interesting sights throughout the tour. The standatd trip to the carpet weavers could have been shorter, but at least it was air conditioned and I got a coffee. Overall, would reccommend.

Mel is a wonderful charismatic guide. We had a good time
