We had a single full day to explore Ephesus and our guide Umut showed us an amazing time while fitting in a personalized set of locations Umut was such a joy to talk to about the history of Ephesus, Rome and more. The sites he took us to were of course amazing, and the we were able to visit some less touristy food places with some authentic local favorites.
