This trip was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday. The drive from Antalya was long but comfortable we had air conditioning and a couple of rest stops, which helped. Once we arrived in Ephesus, everything just came to life. Our guide was knowledgeable without being overwhelming and shared a lot of cool facts, especially about the Temple of Artemis and the Celsus Library. The Great Theatre was stunning—just imagining how many people once sat there gave me goosebumps. Lunch was tasty and felt very local, not touristy, which I really appreciated. We also enjoyed the museum at the end it tied everything together nicely. Only reason it’s not a full 5 stars for me is the time spent on the road it was a full day out. Still, totally worth it if you're into history or just want to see something unforgettable.
