Visit the Great Theatre, where St. Paul preached against the pagans and gladiators once engaged in battle.

Amazing Experience - My wife and I had a wonderful private tour of Ephesus booked with Zephyros Travel. Everything was perfect. The reservation process was easy, the driver and amazing tour guide arrived a little early for the pickup which we loved. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and added some very interesting facts and information about Turkey. Most importantly his knowledge of Ephesus was outstanding. Highly recommend the private tour of Ephesus

Honest recommendation for a cruise to Milli Park with a foam party - The cruise was beautiful and fun, especially the foam party. MILLI PARK is the place with the cleanest beaches in Kusadasi, especially the beaches that once that can only be reached by boat. The driver from the Zaphyrus agency was so kind.. Big big bravoo for all of tham!

Ephesus Full Day Tour - It was a great trip. The boss was super friendly and knowledgeable. Our tour guide was excellent. She told us everything very detailed and exciting. We felt very comfortable with her. We visited the temple of Artemis, ancient Ephesus and the house of the Virgin Mary. We also had the honor of visiting a Turkish art workshop where beautiful handmade artwork is made from quartz and ceramics. We also got to visit a leather outlet. In addition, we had lunch with the boss and our tour guide. We highly recommend this trip with Zephyros.
