We have been to Pompeii and liked Ephesus even more. You will pay a premium but if you love history, it is a must. May 2024 weekday visit - we arrived at 755am at the upper entrance. There was not a single person, only the workers. Free parking in the huge lot, though it seems most people don’t drive themselves We had the place to ourselves for the first 30mins after entering at 8am, then some private, smaller tours started. If you care about photos, head to The Library first since that is the most photogenic spot in the whole site. Then, start the free Rick Steves audio guide tour back at the Upper Entrance, which will take about 1.5hrs. Larger tour groups started coming in around 10am. Then at noon it was chaotic with all the cruise boat tourists. We bought the full 65euros ticket since we wanted to see terrace houses and the museum. The terrace houses are magnificent. I’m surprised that the tour groups barely stopped to look. Try to avoid doing a big group tour so you can take your time and cool down when you want. There is an air conditioned cafe with the cleanest WC beside the Experience Museum near the lower entrance, and you do not need the more expensive ticket to use the cafe. It was really empty - because the big tour groups don’t have time to take you there. There is a smaller food/drinks stand beside the library. It is obviously more expensive than a BiM or Soc, but still reasonably priced when converting to euros. The Experience Museum has an Artechouse-esque digital experience which is actually high production value. Not a must-see, but more of an air conditioning break. The archaeological museum is outside of the ancient city, about 8mins drive. It is a nice supplement to the ancient city and incredible to see the additional artifacts. I would not go to it if you haven’t seen the ancient city. St John’s Basilica is on the 65euro bundle too, but not really worth seeing, and is also hot to go since it is all outdoors. If you are in a rush, just get the ticket which includes terrace houses (52euros). We spent 4.5hrs here and it was great. Of course prefer to come in the morning so you can have some peace and quiet, as well as nicer cooler weather. Just don’t do a giant tour group and you will enjoy it.

We thought it would be far busier than it was given that it was a Saturday, but whilst it was busy we didn't have to wait long to his tickets, or to view the attractions or take good pictures. Crowds were manageable. Great history well maintained. Some small shops sell snacks and drinks at extortionate prices. You can get lemonade for 90TL where in town you'd get it for 10-15TL. So, come prepared and bring your own snacks and drinks. Not a lot of shaded places, so a sun umbrella may be welcomed. It's definitely a worthwhile trip. We didn't pay for a guide. We had done a bit of reading beforehand, and there's information dotted around every attraction. But I'm sure a guide would have made the experience more worthwhile, but book them in advance. Don't believe taxi guys, there's two ways to enter Ephesus. We walked from Selcuk to the lower gates on a really nice path (use Google maps), I've included a picture of the path we took alongside a dual carriageway, took us 40 minutes to get there. On the walk there, you can make a pit stop and visit the ancient monument of Artemis for free, but there's "guides" there too willing to help. We didn'twaste time with them, just a simple "no thank you".. Close to the first gate, we were stopped by a taxi guy who tried to convince us there was no entry where we were heading, and it was 5km further. It was less than 10 minutes further. Be cautious, there's quite a few dishonest people around. We paid 500TL each for both the Ephesus city and the terraced houses. We recommend you visit both. Spent a good 3 hours before we walked back to Selcuk for our train back to Izmir.

I have just spent 4 hours strolling around the ruins of Ephesus. Rich in history, I walked the market area and imagined the bustle of the busy street, the sounds and smells. I imaged the events of Act 19 playing out. Paul is sharing about Jesus and those opposing his ideas. I looked at the hillside and marvelled at how once this was all buried under dirt and vegetation, something yoy can see so clearly when you looked at before and after photos of the terrace houses. It is a privilege to be able to witness such things. Some practical things. The site currently is 40 euros to visit but does not include the terrace houses and experience museums both well worth seeing. The experience really help put history into context and to imagine what life would have been like in different eras. For 65 euros, you can get a pass that covers all of these plus some other areas in town like Basilica of St john and archological museum. Also, if there is a specific area you would like to see, check before you go. While we were there, half the harbour area and the amphitheatre were closed for renovations. There are two car parks, one at the top gate and one at the bottom. We were charged 120tl at the top gate. Finally get there early, we arrived st 8am and had the whole marble street to ourselves by 11 it was heaving with tourist for tour groups and things. Plus, it was getting super hot. Price given as date 5th Sept 2024.
