    The largest open-air museum in Turkey, Ephesus contains more than 30 buildings and structures linked together by streets that still bear the marks of chariot wheels.

    Continue to the Church of the Virgin Mary. According to Christian tradition, Mary was brought to Ephesus by the Apostle John after the Resurrection of Christ. The church was erected on the foundation of the house where she spent her final days, as authenticated by Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II.

  • The Temple of Artemis, Selcuk, Turkey
    the Temple of Artemis, one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. Today there are only a series of columns and scattered ruins of this marvelous Hellenistic construction, though the grandeur of the colossal structure once exceeded that of the Parthenon.

  • Sirince Koyu, Sirince, Turkey
    This pretty old Orthodox village, 12 km away from Ephesus and 30 km from Kusadasi, was once Cirkince ("ugly"). Indeed its habitants gave this name on purpose as they did not want to be bothered by foreigners nor to share the beauty of their village. Still after years, visitors understood that the village was not ugly at all and called it Sirince ("pretty"). As the village is located on the top of a mountain, anyone will enjoy the impressive wine yards' and peach trees' views on his way.

My husband and I are history buffs and wanted to make sure we were able to see the ancient city of Ephesus during our week-long stay in Istanbul. Firstly, this day trip was impeccably planned from a logistics point of view. About 3 days before our day trip, trip organizer Umut messaged me letting me know he would send me flight info and tour guide info the day before our trip. Ephesus is only a 1-hour flight from Istanbul (some of the bus tours take 6 or more hours to get to Ephesus from Istanbul) and so this is the best way to do the day trip from a logistics perspective. The day before our, Umut sent us our local guide's contact information, airport transfer pickup/drop off details and also assisted us with checking into our flight. The driver was at our hotel right on time at 6am to take us to the airport and our flight was seamless, with our local guide in Istanbul, Necdet, waiting for us in the arrival terminal at Izmir Airport. Necdet was very friendly, humorous and knowledgable about the ancient city of Ephesus and also the historic site of the Virgin Mary's house. In total we toured the historic sites for about 3 hours and then had lunch with Necdet at a local co-op (serving traditional mezes and kebabs), next to a carpet weaving center where we received a demonstration of how Turkish carpet making has historically been done. Necdet and our driver, Yavuz, were very accommodating whenever we wanted to stop for a coffee, to purchase souvenirs or the like. We were dropped off on time at Izmir Airport and upon return to Istanbul Airport, Umut arranged for the greeter to meet us at the pickup point. All in all, a seamless day trip to a must-see, well-preserved, grand ancient city.
