Description

Explore Ephesus and the Terrace Houses with a local guide. See Roman streets, mosaics, and frescoes. Includes lunch and transport. A cultural journey through ancient luxury.
Discover the ancient city of Ephesus on a guided tour that takes you beyond the typical highlights. Walk in the footsteps of emperors, apostles, and scholars as you explore one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world.

Your journey begins with a visit to the most iconic sites of Ephesus: the Library of Celsus, the Great Theater, the Temple of Hadrian, and the marble-lined streets of this once-thriving metropolis. With insights from your expert guide, history will come to life all around you.

What makes this tour truly special is the inclusion of the Terrace Houses, an exclusive archaeological area rarely included in standard tours. These well-preserved homes once belonged to Ephesus’ wealthiest citizens. Inside, you'll find stunning mosaics, intricate wall frescoes, and an intimate glimpse into Roman domestic life.

After your visit, enjoy a traditional Turkish lunch in a local restaurant, offering a taste of regional cuisine and hospitality.

The tour concludes with a short visit to the remains of the Temple of Artemis—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Though only a few columns remain, the site offers a powerful connection to the spiritual legacy and architectural marvels of antiquity.
