This journey from Bodrum to Ephesus invites you to discover one of the most remarkable open-air galleries in existence, showcasing a myriad of classical archaeological treasures.

Ephesus Day Trip

Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your Bodrum hotel at the pre-scheduled time, after which we will travel towards Ephesus, with a refreshing breakfast stop along the way.

Upon reaching our destination, you will embark on a guided exploration of this historic Greco-Roman city nestled by the Aegean Sea. Prepare to be awed by the facade of the Library of Celsus, an architectural marvel adorned with columns and statues, including figures of Eros, Nike, and Medusa. Interesting trivia: it once stored a collection of 12,000 scrolls!

During the tour, you’ll uncover fascinating insights about iconic structures like the Great Theater, the fountain of Trajan, the Odeon, and the Temple of Hadrian, where exquisite friezes narrate various mythological stories.

Next, we will proceed to the remnants of the illustrious Temple of Artemis, celebrated as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Here, one of the original 127 Ionic columns still stands, bearing witness to the temple's former grandeur. Following this exploration, a visit to a local restaurant awaits, where you can indulge in a delightful buffet lunch featuring an array of salads, traditional dishes, and desserts.

After our meal, we will head to a charming jewelry shop to observe the exquisite techniques of Turkish goldsmiths.

Concluding this immersive 12-hour experience, we will return you to your hotel in Bodrum, marking the end of a remarkable day.
