We hopped on the shuttle right at the port, and the drive was smooth, giving us a taste of the stunning coastal scenery. Once we arrived, the scale of the ancient structures was truly awe-inspiring, and we felt like we had stepped back in time. Our guide shared fascinating stories that made each corner of the site come alive, and we appreciated the small group size, which allowed for more interaction. However, a few of the paths were quite crowded, especially near the more famous attractions, which made it hard to fully absorb the experience at times. The lunch stop was a nice touch, featuring local cuisine that we enjoyed very much, but a bit more time to roam freely would have been ideal. Overall, it was a memorable day filled with learning and exploration, and we’d definitely recommend it to fellow travelers. Just a heads up: wear comfortable shoes, as some areas require a bit of walking!

We were eager to explore the wonders of Ephesus after hearing so much about its historical significance, and the journey from Çeşme port fit perfectly into our day. The highlight was definitely standing in front of the grand Library of Celsus, which left us in awe of its intricate architecture. While the guide’s knowledge was impressive, we found the pace a bit rushed at times, leaving us wishing for more opportunity to soak in the atmosphere.
