Discover Ephesus with the local guides of Celsus Travel.
Located within what was once the estuary of the River Kaystros, Ephesus comprises successive Hellenistic and Roman settlements founded on new locations, which followed the coastline as it retreated westward. Excavations have revealed grand monuments of the Roman Imperial period including the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre. Little remains of the famous Temple of Artemis, one of the “Seven Wonders of the World,” which drew pilgrims from all around the Mediterranean. Since the 5th century, the House of the Virgin Mary, a domed cruciform chapel seven kilometres from Ephesus, became a major place of Christian pilgrimage. The Ancient City of Ephesus is an outstanding example of a Roman port city, with sea channel and harbour basin.

Me and my wife booked a private tour to Sirince village including Ephesus ruins. Absolutely stunning tiny town. A wonderful stroll along the narrow cobble streets with shops to just nose around in. Great wine tasting shops everywhere serving their own home made brand. Take your time soaking in the peaceful environment with a Turkish coffee. I love it!

We had a very knowledgeable guide. His English was excellent. Our booking experience was also great. We had many add ons as people requested to join our tour and they did this with no problem. It was a shore excursion from a cruise We were also using the co for a tour in Istanbul but our ship did not stop due to trouble in the area. A quick and easy refund was made. I wish we did a little more on the main street of Ephesus though. Once we hit the Terrace Houses we turned in and then when we came out we were at the bottom of the street and moved on. I wish we would have backed tracked up to the entrance of the Terrace Houses after going farther down the street. I would use them again.
