⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE! ⚠️
⛔ Group tours may sound convenient, but they often mean sacrificing your freedom. You’re forced to follow a rigid schedule, rush through places you might not care about, and wait for others — all while paying entry fees upfront for sites you may not even want to visit. Why spend your valuable holiday time and money this way?
✅ With our private tours, your day is truly yours! You decide where to go, how long to stay, and what to see. Entry fees aren’t included in advance, so you only pay for the places that genuinely interest you. Each morning, we discuss your preferences and shape the tour around you.
✳️ Imagine the difference: Instead of being herded along with strangers, you explore at your own pace. Instead of paying for places you don’t care about, every stop is somewhere you actually want to see.
Don’t settle for a one-size-fits-all tour. Choose a private experience tailored just for you and your family — and make your trip unforgettable!
Ephesus Ancient City
2h 30m · Admission ticket not included
Upon arrival at Ephesus, we embark on our exploration of this meticulously preserved ancient city. Originally founded in the 10th century BC by Attic and Ionian Greek settlers on the former Arzawan capital site, Ephesus thrived as a prominent city-state along the Ionian coast, approximately 3 kilometers southwest of modern-day Selçuk in İzmir Province, Turkey. During the Classical Greek period, it held significant status as one of the twelve cities belonging to the Ionian League. In 129 BC, Ephesus fell under the dominion of the Roman Republic, marking a pivotal era in its history.
Selcuk
2h 30m
Afterward, a lunch break is scheduled, which is included in the tour. Following that, we aim to immerse you in Ephesus's local culture, showcasing traditional carpet and rug art crafted through ancestral weaving techniques at the Teaching Village. You'll also have the opportunity to appreciate Ephesus ceramics during this experience.
Sirince
1h 30m
Following lunch, our next stop is Sirince, a charming village with a rich history, stunning vistas, delightful cuisine, warm hospitality, and much more to offer. It represents a harmonious blend of traditional Turkish and Greek village aesthetics. Interestingly, the village was originally named "Çirkince," meaning "ugly," in a playful nod to its hidden beauty and as a deterrent to outsiders. As its scenic location and architectural charm became widely recognized, the village was officially renamed Şirince in 1926.
Kusadasi
