Overview

Enjoy a private and thoughtfully paced exploration of Ephesus and Selçuk with a dedicated vehicle, professional driver, and licensed guide reserved exclusively for your group. The flexible itinerary allows you to focus on the places that interest you most while experiencing the region in comfort.

Visit the House of the Virgin Mary, walk through the marble streets of Ephesus, and admire the beautifully preserved Terrace Houses near the Library of Celsus. Continue to the Basilica of St. John, the Temple of Artemis, the Grotto of the Seven Sleepers, and the historic İsa Bey Mosque, each representing a different chapter of the region’s classical, Christian, and Islamic heritage.

Pause for lunch at a local restaurant in Selçuk before continuing your journey. With personalized guidance, separate driver and guide, and the freedom to explore at an unhurried pace, this private tour offers a deeper and more refined experience of the wider Ephesus area.
