Once we arrive at Ephesus, we will begin our guided tour of this amazing site. Your guide will take you through one of the most magnificent wonders of the Ancient World, giving you commentary about the history, the way of life and stories about their culture.

The Grand theatre was built in 3rd century B.C and it was later expanded to 24.000 spectators by the Romans in the 1st century A.D.

Once we have visited Ephesus there will be time to visit the restrooms, souvenir shop or take a quick coffee at one of the many cafeterias before commencing with the tour.
