The published programme runs from 07:00 to 19:00 on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with hotel transport included. Much of the day is shared between the road journey and walking at the ruins. Give your exact hotel when enquiring so the pickup point and time can be checked before making evening plans. Inside Ephesus, the guide connects civic buildings, streets and monuments rather than treating the visit as a single photo stop. The route names the Odeon, Agora, Temple of Hadrian, fountains, Roman baths, Library of Celsus and Great Theatre. UNESCO describes the city as a former Roman harbour settlement; the monumental buildings are now inland. Walking surfaces include old stone paving and exposed sections, so shoes with grip, water and a hat are useful. The reference package includes the Ephesus entry ticket, a licensed guide, hotel transfers and buffet lunch. Breakfast and drinks are extra. The House of the Virgin Mary is an optional additional visit, with its entrance charged separately; request it before the day. Terrace Houses admission is not listed, and there is no promise of a separate museum visit. Confirm the guide language and walking needs with the booking. ## Tour highlights - Library of Celsus and Great Theatre - Guided archaeological walk - Ephesus entry and buffet lunch ## Tour details ### Route and stops 1.
