Explore Ephesus, the ancient gem of the Mediterranean with Piri Guide, your personal travel guide. Our location-based audio tours in Ephesus provide a unique experience that let you dive into the heart of Ephesus’s the rise and fall.
Join us on an unforgettable journey through the awe-inspiring Temple of Domitian, an architectural marvel that has withstood the test of time. We’ll stop by the graceful Fountain of Traianus, the Baths of Varius, and the majestic Temple of Hadrian, each a testament to the city’s grandeur. And, of course, we’ll marvel at the Library of Celsus, an iconic structure that continues to captivate visitors with its elegance.Our exploration will lead us to the sacred Church of Mother Mary, a place of profound spirituality and significance. The historical significance of this site is immeasurable. In the figure of Artemis, deeply revered and cherished, we find a divine representation of sublime femininity. To quote Walter Friedrich Otto in “The Homeric Gods,” this eternal image embodies the piously intuitive spirit’s perception of divinity.
While the Temple of Artemis may be long gone, the Magnificent Statue of Artemis remains, a true marvel. You can find the authentic piece on display at the Ephesus Museum in Seljuk. Together, we’ll unravel the profound meaning that this statue continues to radiate.

Enter through the Upper Gate. Ephesus has two entrances: the Upper Gate and the Lower Gate. We recommend starting from the Upper Gate and walking downhill to the Lower Gate, as it allows for a more convenient tour route.
Be aware that there are no restroom facilities along the tour route except at the entrance and exit gates. These facilities are three kilometers apart, so plan accordingly to avoid any inconvenience.
There is an additional fee to enter Terrace Houses II. This fee serves both for site maintenance and to manage visitor numbers as these houses are delicate.
If you plan to visit multiple historical sites in Turkey, consider purchasing a MuzeKart. This card, priced at 60 TL, provides access to various attractions, making it a cost-effective choice compared to individual tickets.
There are no stores within the ruins, so it’s advisable to ensure you have sufficient water and sun protection before beginning the tour. You can find necessary items at stores near the entrance or at the nearby café. For a more budget-friendly option, consider purchasing your essentials from local stores in the city.
To make the most of your Ephesus experience, we recommend arriving early in the morning. This allows you to explore in a quieter and cooler atmosphere, avoiding the midday heat and tourist crowds. Try to schedule your visit on non-public holidays for an even more peaceful experience.

If you’d like to transfer between the Upper and Lower Gates, you can opt for a horse cart or a modern taxi available at the Lower Gate. If you choose the horse cart, don’t forget to give the horse a treat after your ride as a token of appreciation. It’s a wonderful way to cherish the journey itself, not just the destination.
For an uninterrupted and enjoyable audio tour experience, it is highly recommended that you begin the tour with your phone fully charged.
