Fantastic Experience with Ilknur x New Happy Days Agency
We had an amazing experience with our guide Ilknur. She was very informative and engaging and even made the effort to engage our daughter, who was very attentive because of this. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with the agency or Ilknur again. She was exceptional.

Fantastic family visit to Ephesus
Fantastic family visit to Ephesus A fantastic experience visiting Ephesus and the Temple of Artemis as a family. Ephesus is genuinely impressive — walking through the ancient city and seeing the scale and history of the site really brings it to life. Our guide, Ilnur, was exceptional. She was knowledgeable, engaging and incredibly friendly, making the history interesting for all of us and especially good at keeping the whole family involved. She clearly cared about giving us a great experience rather than simply reciting facts. The Temple of Artemis was a worthwhile addition too, particularly given its importance as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, although there isn’t much remaining of the original temple. Overall, a brilliant family day out and one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended — and if you get Ilnur as your guide, you’re in very good hands.

Ephesus Artemis Temple Virgin Mary Isa Bey Mosque Only group: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kusadasi.
How much does Ephesus Artemis Temple Virgin Mary Isa Bey Mosque Only group cost?
+
Prices start at $29 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 Artemis Temple Virgin Mary Isa Bey Mosque Only group take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Artemis Temple Virgin Mary Isa Bey Mosque Only group worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 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 Artemis Temple Virgin Mary Isa Bey Mosque Only group?
+
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 Artemis Temple Virgin Mary Isa Bey Mosque Only group suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ephesus Artemis Temple Virgin Mary Isa Bey Mosque Only group?
+
Around 11 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ephesus Artemis Temple Virgin Mary Isa Bey Mosque Only group 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 PRIVATE EPHESUS TOUR FOR CRUISERS: On-time Return and Skip-Line, PRIVATE TOUR FOR CRUISERS: Mary's House (Meryemana) and Ephesus, FOR CRUISERS: Ephesus & Virgin Mary Tour with Entry Fees & Lunch. 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.
