About this experience
Drive up to a scenically wonderful coastal road before you reach the ancient Ephesus. Famous in antiquity for its temple of Diana, during the years of the Roman Empire, the Greek port of Ephesus became the greatest city in Asia Minor. From here we will continue to Sirince Village, this old Greek village acquired world-wide fame when tourists flocked to the village in December 2012 to witness the Mayan Apocalypse. The tour also includes wine tasting at Siringe village.

Best Tour of Our Trip!
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Our guide, Ehram?, met us at the very crowded port and in no time we were in a car and on our way to Ephesus. We got there before the crowds and pretty much had the place to ourselves. This was our third time visiting Ephesus and we enjoyed it the most! From there we drove to Sirince, which is a lovely little town in the hills. Our guide took us to a small café where we enjoyed Turkish coffee and enjoyed the view. After coffee we tasted some fruit wines which this village is known for. Finally, we went to a local restaurant in a small town not too far from the port of Kusadasi. We tasted a wonderful Turkish red wine that our guide recommended. It was a great tour! It was unrushed, free from the crowds and we so enjoyed the company of our guide and driver. It was one of the best tours of our Greek vacation!

Operator did not appear
The tour operator changed the scheduled time of this tour the day before the tour was supposed to occur, after the cancellation window had passed, and then did not appear at the scheduled time. We waited nearly an hour and did not send up experiencing this tour as a result.

Highlighted adventure
Ephesus even though it was the second time - so much more expanded. Enjoyed the combination of the two places we saw and the time spent was perfect

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ephesus and Sirince with Wine tasting Private Half Day Shore Excursion: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kusadasi.
How much does Ephesus and Sirince with Wine tasting Private Half Day Shore Excursion cost?
+
Prices start at $176 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 Ephesus and Sirince with Wine tasting Private Half Day Shore Excursion 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 Ephesus and Sirince with Wine tasting Private Half Day Shore Excursion worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 7 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 Ephesus and Sirince with Wine tasting Private Half Day Shore Excursion?
+
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 Ephesus and Sirince with Wine tasting Private Half Day Shore Excursion 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 Ephesus and Sirince with Wine tasting Private Half Day Shore Excursion?
+
Around 2 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 Ephesus and Sirince with Wine tasting Private Half Day Shore Excursion 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.
