Experience Details

Go beyond the classic Ephesus tour with a private experience combining ancient history, Turkish culture, wine and gastronomy. Explore the UNESCO-listed Ancient City of Ephesus with your private licensed guide, then visit the Ephesus Experience Museum, where immersive visuals, sound and storytelling bring the ancient city and its people to life.


Continue with a traditional Turkish carpet weaving experience and selected Turkish wine tasting, where you can discover handmade carpet craftsmanship, enjoy local snacks and learn about regional traditions — with no obligation to purchase.


Finish your day with a carefully curated Turkish culinary experience at a local restaurant near Kusadasi Port. Enjoy seasonal mezes and salad, your choice of fish or meat, followed by baklava and traditional Turkish coffee. With private transportation, admissions, wine tasting and the culinary experience included, this is more than an Ephesus tour — an introduction to Türkiye's history, culture and flavors.
