It is a very beautiful and popular place. It's only very hot and there's little shade, but a big hat to help you or an umbrella when I was there it was +45 and the umbrella saved me, otherwise I would have been a red cancer.
Expensive tickets are 40 euros, in general, anyone who likes to see ancient stones will come by, it was amazing what roads were built during the Roman Empire.
It's a great place. It is better to go not in the hot months and for a few hours. If you go on excursions, then the guides will go through some of their points in a couple of hours by voice and that's it.
The grandeur of ancient Ephesus is fascinating. Being there, you get charged with energy. I want to look at it all for hours, because photography cannot convey all its power and greatness. We were lucky with the weather. The sky was very blue, although it was February. And of course the seals! Where to go without them. They are proudly sprawled out on the sights and do not even mind being stroked. I recommend a visit to all lovers of historical sites.
It is a very interesting and atmospheric, historical place.
Take the time to travel from the resorts of the Mediterranean for a long time on a tour bus, but it's worth it!
Very interesting! An amazing immersion in ancient history. The library is especially impressive.
The main thing is to take umbrellas and sunscreen with you :)
You know, that hall and animation in the museum; it could be much better with the film technology of today and with that investment. We are waiting for a better, perfect one soon so that we can go again.

Expensive tickets, the most interesting places were under restoration, a local star was expected to perform in the amphitheater, so the rest of the visitors were simply smoked out by turning off the lights. This place is too hot, it's much cheaper and more interesting!
It's a great place. You can easily get there by anything. There is a large and inexpensive parking. There are free toilets on site, paid ones in front of the entrance. The place impresses with its history, you want to come back here again and again.
A very interesting tour of the ancient city.It was informative, fascinating and wildly interesting to feel like a part of history.Beautiful and inspired at the same time 👍
History buffs love it very much.We went on Saturday, it was very crowded.You can't hear your guide over the noise.If you want to calm down, it makes sense to go on a weekday.
It is a magnificent place where you will find yourself in history, a wonderland that I have visited many times with the same excitement every time and want to visit again and again
A very interesting place, no joke, we got there by accident, we thought for a long time whether it was worth paying 40 euros for admission, but we can say that it was worth it!
+ this is one of the 7 wonders of the world
I am absolutely delighted, I highly recommend it. In my opinion, the exposition of historical monuments in the open air is much better than Rome and other classic attractions. And at the same time, the atmosphere of the city is preserved, you can imagine how people lived there
Construction is underway, unfortunately not everything is available, but I really liked the virtual hilt, it's a pity it's fast, but it makes me cry

You can enter this ancient city located in Izmir Seljuk from two different points.the museum card is valid.If you want to have a nice historical feast for yourself, this is the place you are looking for.I recommend that you set aside 5_6 hours.There are really excellent structures.when you look at the environment like this, you can feel that many more remains are under the ground.The restoration work continues.The current entrance prices are in the pictures.
A real miracle, where different centuries and civilizations are intertwined, but most of all the Roman heritage has been preserved. Choose comfortable shoes, walk a lot and often on slippery marble. Hats are required.
Superman is a place, it's great to walk there. It is probably better with a guide / excursion, but independent study of antiquities is also very exciting. A must-visit!
Ephesus is beautiful at any time of the year. The city is big and atmospheric. These are the most beautiful "ruins" in Turkey. An ancient Greek city that absorbed subsequent epochs.
An old girlish dream! It was implemented in October 2023. The tour and the guide are amazing. Given a lot of free time! I've had enough! Impressions for a lifetime!
A truly stunning ancient city with a thousand-year-old past. At that time, 250,000 people lived in the city. The Celsius Library is especially striking. It was built by the former mayor of Ephesus. The city was ruled by Greeks, Jews, and Byzantines. In total, about 10% of the city has been excavated to date.

If you are planning a vacation on the Aegean coast of Turkey, be sure to visit this magical city! Ephesus was no less impressive than Pompeii. A place with an amazing history and atmosphere for lovers of antiquity
The ruins of the great ancient city of Ephesus. It takes about 3 hours to drive from Bodrum. If you are interested in history and ruins, it is better to go with a guide, at least he will tell you something. Choose cloudy weather, because it's hot. Stock up on water and fruits, and a good mood (who is measured in what)
We ticked the box - we were)
If the weather is good and you don't want to go, then look at the photos on the Internet and read the story...
The place is gorgeous. But! Heaps of tourists... and the entrance is insanely expensive! For two people, they gave almost 10,000 rubles just for the entrance
I really liked it!!! There are many preserved antiquities. Excellent guides! Those who are interested in the story will enjoy it. I recommend you to visit!!!
A large historical monument. I recommend visiting early in the morning, while it is not hot and crowded. There are no toilets on site and there is no possibility to buy water (only at the entrance). The time to review the entire Ephesus is 3+-hours.
I really liked it, despite the crowds. Seals and ruins (by the way, the most underdeveloped ruins of those that I have seen) leave an indelible impression. I went on an excursion, I didn't have enough, I hope to return on my own
I have visited at least ten times. I notice different things every time I go. So are our other ancient cities.
Anatolian cultural treasure.
And if we could take measures for cultural degradation. If it starts, the rest will come.
Prices have been raised since 2024, admission from 40 euros to 60! Excursions are even more expensive from the hotel. Previously, the entrance was 200 liras, disappointed.
We had a family vacation in the Didim resort in Turkey. On the advice of a representative of a travel agency, we took an excursion to Ephesus. We were amazed by this city, its size, the grandeur of the structures, and the volume of excavations. We did not spare the money spent.
