I have bad knees but was surprised at how easy Ephesus was to navigate. It was 92 degrees and crowded but it was well worth it. Advice to avoid the Cruise boats go after 3:00 PM

As this old city remains almost as it was in the old days, it is extremely impressive not only for archeology fans but also for all others. But, the crowds.... We were unlucky because the day we visited Ephesus, there were 2 big cruise ship that have arrived to Kusadasi and the site was jam packed... Under these circumstances, it...

The entry point, route through the site, and exit well organised. Big crowds but gives authentic feel. Duration limited by bladder strength. Get a guide book to get all the interpretationyou need, and wander. Dont take Grand Tours - uninformative, and touting other businesses
If you are in the area of course you must go t Ephesus, and as other reviewers have said pay the extra for the terraced houses. It is all quite expensive but just bite the bullet. However, the Audio tour is not worth the 15tl. Usually I love audio tours as they inform while allowing you to take everything in...

If you can, start at the end nearest the large amphitheater, as the mind boggling hordes from the cruise ship buses start at the other...

To get here you can take a local public bus from the bus station. It costs only about 3TL. Or you could walk (about 4km) from the town center.
Note that there are 2 entrances. The North entrance is the furthest, up a hill. The south entrance is where the public bus will drop you. I don't know if there...

This one of the not to be missed experiences, it's just breath taking, walking along marble streets of a long ago city and walking around the amphitheatre is just magnificent, it really felt as if you were experiencing true history and walking in the footsteps of thousands of people who walked these paths long long ago. Allow as much time...

Ephesus is one the highlights in Turkey. It is a large site where you need good shoes. The librarry is the top. Everything is build by Greece and Roman people. Also famous from the holy Bible. We visited Ephesus in April 2013; in high summer it will be very hot with less shadow. The old houses on the hill are...
