All about the trip
Visit the second biggest Roman city and see one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – the Temple of Artemis. Just a 15-minute drive away from the ancient city of Ephesus there is a lovely village of Şirince. Experience its daily life and crafts.
Our experienced driver-guide will pick you up at the Izmir harbour, ADB airport or at your hotel in Izmir or Kusadasi early in the morning. The guide will be holding up a sign with your name on it so you can find him easily. He will give you information about the plan for the day before heading off on your way to your destination.
We begin our tour in the ancient city of Ephesus. Seeing its ruins you can get the idea of the original splendor of the city. The terrace houses with their amazing interior decorations show the lifestyle of the wealthy.
The Temple of Artemis is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and it took 120 years to build with 100 marble pillars supporting its roof.
The impressive facade of the Library of Celsus is a proof of magnificent architecture as well as the open-air theatre built for 25 000 people.
From Ephesus we take a 15-minute ride to the village of Şirince.
There, on a mountain covered with vineyards and peach trees we can admire local architecture. Due to historical fusion of Greek and Turkish culture local houses have a typical Greek look from the outside but once you enter you find Turkish layout with courtyards inside.
In one of the courtyards there is an orthodox church. And several of the houses are open to visitors. You can still see people carpet dying, spinning and weaving here.
Enjoy your visit to the unique village where the best of old art and craft is still alive.
