Nice sunny ☀ weather, you pay 💰 per person 28.71 euros 💶 if you get the deal.

Parking 🅿 cost 💲 around 3€
There are a small market with lots of options.

We did all the walking around in 3 hours but this will definitely depend on you.

January is great as there are not many tourists and prices of hotels are cheaper.

Amazing!! One of the most impressive ancient sites I have visited. The library is out of this world.

We stayed for around 2/3 hours to properly see everything. The audio tour will provide you with some good information regarding the sites you visit.

I would also recommend getting tickets for the Terrace Houses. We were so impressed by the frescoes and mosaics. Definitely worth the extra lira (if you buy the combined ticket at the gate, you get a little discount in comparison to buying the ticket inside).

Amazing, very beautiful site. No waiting at the entry gate because we were early. No drone filming allowed without applying for permission in advance. The terrace houses is completely covered and cost extra, -1 for that.

This is a wonderful historical place to go in Turkiye. It’s near the one of the best places which has amazing beaches, Kuşadası and Izmir. You can visit easily in your holiday.

And also you can visit numerous historical places in Turkiye. If you have more time, you should try to go the others.

Must-see attraction when in the area! It exceeded my expectations. It would have been nice to visit with a guide but you can also ask for a free audio guide when buying tickets. It does get hot here but there are places to buy drinks and snacks on either end and also one place in the middle by the library. There are trees and spots throughout that help provide shade when touring. It is best to go early or late in the day. The only thing we wish they had was an evening hour in the summer where you could be there for golden hour.

A most amazing piece of history.
The new interactive mesum I think it's a must.
Take your time and try and get there early, it gets very busy

Very busy place after the cruise ship groups arrive. Best to go early. You can buy tickets online or at the gate.

I have to say this place was incredible. Way bigger than I thought with so much to see and was magical walking through this historic site. Definitely recommend to go check it out, but try to get there before the bus rush so you can have the place more to yourself and more quiet.

Beautiful, historic, you can feel the ambient of an ancient city. Advice: dont go there during summer as is can be very hot! If you still go, be prepared with parasol, light white long sleeve shirt and a lot of water...

It was a nice experience. Something unique, beautiful place. You can feel the history. It was a bit hot, 40 degrees Celsius, but it was worth it. Museum pass awards discount in inside shops for coffee, water, juices etc.

Obviously a must see but be prepared to die from heat exhaustion (during summer days). I would highly recommend checking out evening concert schedule in advance. Truly an unforgettable experience attending a concert at one of the oldest amphitheaters.

Just amazing. You cannot stop imaging real gladiators on their chariots (which is not accurate for location). It’s a dream world and I can’t wait to see more!!

Is a mix roman-greek theatre. The whole ancient city is amazing. And a special guide like Ezra made it even more spectacular. Ephesus took the best from Rome and Petra and gave the traveller a complete and wonderful experience. Be aware of the highest temperature (+10 always from the seaside) took some water with you, and a good guide

As expected, very large, very grand, you can go onto the stage on this one which is cool too :)
There's a cat called Garfield that hangs around and has his own Instagram

We had a great time visiting Ephesus! We walked from the top of the city down to the bottom port.
It took us a couple of hours at a slow pace.
We visited the terrace houses (for an extra entrance fee - 170TL)
The weather was amazing and it wasn’t too busy so it was a great experience.
I would recommend visiting with a guide as understanding how it was use make the whole place come to life.

As in most sites there’s was lots of very cute cats and dogs.

The toilet were clean although we only used the ones after leaving the site.

There’s also a little drink shot close to the Celsius library.

Really cool to come and see in person!! It’s really big with so many steps. I think they put performances on there to. Great for taking photos. There are so many steps but be careful when walking around cause it’s really slippery. Overall really cool place to look at!

Very good place, once the foothold of the Roman's and the Greeks, was the most prosperous city at that time.
It's a long walk, the sight seeing takes approximately 2hrs.
Watch your step, as the flooring is slippery (take care of ur children)
Tip for travellers - If u visit turkey better take a museum pass for 2500 TRY, this will enable u to see all museums like Ephesus, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi palace etc.. so better stand in line and buy this pass once only

Wonderful theater. You feel like you're living in the past. Keep in mind that you should wear a hat and have a bottle of water cause it's hot and sunny
