The House of the Virgin Mary
*If you have booked the Ephesus+Mary's House option, the tour program includes tickets for Ephesus and Mary's House.* A holy shrine to the supposed death place of St. Mary, the House of the Virgin in Ephesus is a standing testament to the home of the beloved mother of Jesus . Many believe that the house was indeed the place where she spent her final days, and today you can visit the restored stone house, which now serves as a chapel. Serving as sacred territory for Christians and Muslims alike, the Virgin Mary's House has called hundreds of thousands of visitors and pilgrims since its discovery in the 19th-century. Remnants of the chapel date as far back as the 6th-century, and serves as the place where its caretakers, the Lazarist Fathers, conduct mass every day. Despite the altar placed within, the house still contains a bedroom and kitchen, decorated with pictures of Mary and candles.

Ephesus Ancient City
*All options include Ephesus tickets and the Ephesus tour.*Ephesus is one of the greatest ancient sites in the Mediterranean. During its heyday in the first century BC, it was the second-largest city in the world, with only Rome commanding more power. Many reconstructed structures and ruins, including the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, can be seen here. The Basics This ancient city is home to an incredible number of ruins in varying states. The site is best explored with a guide who can help shed light on the function and significance of the various structures. Guided tours of the site depart from Istanbul, Izmir, , Selçuk, and Kuşadasi. Travelers who want to avoid the stress of making travel arrangements to Ephesus can take tours from Istanbul, which typically include air transport from Istanbul to Izmir, and ground transfers from Izmir to Ephesus.

The Temple of Artemis
The Temple of Artemis, or Artemision, was a Greek temple in present-day Turkey dedicated to the goddess Artemis. It was one of the original seven wonders of the ancient world. It was built not far from Ephesus just outside the present-day town of Selcuk. The temple was completely rebuilt several times throughout history after being destroyed on multiple occasions by both nature and human factors. Little remains of the temple in its original location today since archeologists brought much of the ruins to the British Museum. The Temple of Artemis is only a couple of miles from Ephesus, making it an easy attraction to visit. Visitors can still see one tall column and a handful of marble pieces from the foundations of the structure, and the historical location is fascinating. From the site, you can also see the ruins of St. John's Basilica, located on a hill in Selcuk.
30 minutes here
Ephesus Terrace Houses
*If you have booked the Ephesus+Terrace Houses option, the tour program includes tickets for Ephesus and Terrace Houses.* The Terrace Houses of Ephesus in Ephesus, near Selçuk, unveil a world of luxury: vivid mosaics, colorful frescoes, and ingenious heating systems. Clinging to the slopes, these elite homes bring ancient Roman life to life, revealing comfort, artistry, and the hidden stories of the city’s wealthiest residents.

Excellent value.
Our guide Mehmet( Memo) was absolutely knowledgeable anout turkish history and culture. With good English and personality our time on tour passed too fast . Four+ hours like one .
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour and that our guide and services lived up to your expectations. Creating unforgettable experiences for our guests is always our top priority, and your kind words motivate us to keep doing our best. We would be delighted to welcome you back to Turkey for another journey in the future! Warm regard

Beautiful visit, but be careful of the sales tactics to make us buy.
Very beautiful visit to the site of Ephesus. I liked it less that we were taken to see a carpet factory to sell us carpets. The same goes for the forced visit to Sylvio Leather, which was also a bit of a sales tactic to make us buy.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour and that our guide and services lived up to your expectations. Creating unforgettable experiences for our guests is always our top priority, and your kind words motivate us to keep doing our best. We would be delighted to welcome you back to Turkey for another journey in the future! Warm regard

Be very careful booking this tour
Although the historical sites were wonderful to visit, and our guide very knowledgeable, be aware that they also bring you to leather and carpet demonstrations with hard sale tactics. These 2 stops were NOT on our itinerary and took over an hour of our tour. Was truly very disappointed our time was wasted. Best to find a company that will honor the itinerary you sign up for.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed the historical sites and appreciated your guide’s knowledge. We sincerely regret that the additional local craft visits did not meet your expectations. These stops are intended to introduce traditional Turkish craftsmanship, never to pressure guests into purchasing. We apologize if this was not clearly communicated. Guest satisfaction is our priority, and your feedback will help us ensure that guides clearly discuss any optional stops with guests in advance.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
All Inclusive: Best of EPHESUS Tours Incl Skip Line ENTRY TICKETS: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kusadasi.
How much does All Inclusive: Best of EPHESUS Tours Incl Skip Line ENTRY TICKETS cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kusadasi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does All Inclusive: Best of EPHESUS Tours Incl Skip Line ENTRY TICKETS take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kusadasi is not rushed.
Is All Inclusive: Best of EPHESUS Tours Incl Skip Line ENTRY TICKETS worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kusadasi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule All Inclusive: Best of EPHESUS Tours Incl Skip Line ENTRY TICKETS?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is All Inclusive: Best of EPHESUS Tours Incl Skip Line ENTRY TICKETS suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book All Inclusive: Best of EPHESUS Tours Incl Skip Line ENTRY TICKETS?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kusadasi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kusadasi and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does All Inclusive: Best of EPHESUS Tours Incl Skip Line ENTRY TICKETS start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kusadasi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kusadasi?
+
On Outty we rank every Kusadasi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include FOR CRUISERS: Ephesus & Virgin Mary Tour with ENTRY TICKET+LUNCH, Ephesus Temple of Artemis and House of Mary Private Half Day Tour, Ephesus and Temple of Artemis Private Tour from Kusadasi Port. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kusadasi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kusadasi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
