We reach to Ephesus. Ephesus, was the second largest city in the Roman Empire over 250.000 people in the 1st BC.
The House of Virgin Mary, is a place where according to the beliefs of many people Mary, the mother of Jesus, spent her last years of her life.
Sirince Village, this pretty old Greek orthodox village, 12 kms away from Ephesus, was once Cirkince (Ugly). After years, visitors understood that the village was not ugly at all and called it Sirince (Pretty).
Temple of Artemis or Artemision, also known as the Temple of Diana, was a Greek Temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis. It was located in Ephesus and it was one the seven wonders of the world.
The Isabey Mosque, constructed in 1374 – 1375, is one of the oldest and most impressive works of architectural art remaining from the Anatolian Beyliks.
In the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to Kusadasi.

We had an amazing time and the weather was perfect. Rose was a wonderful tour guide always taking us to the locations when there would be less people which we really appreciate and it just made the day so enjoyable. Definitely worth the trip.

This was amazing, I unfortunately cannot remember my guides name but she was amazing I think it was Serbu, she was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited but what I liked the most is that she knew exactly what time to take us to all the sites to avoid the crowds. Big ups for that. She was pleasant and did not mind to play photographer too. Sirince is a must see quaint town and is incorporated into this tour which is an added bonus. Lunch was great and overall this trip was amazing. The tour operator also communicated and was on time for pick-up. Definitely recommend it

Very good service that we had through this company. We went to Ephesus first to see the ruins. For everyone that comes to Kuşadası you need to go to Ephesus and go with a guide they let you live the history of these days. Our guide erdem took very good care of us. 3 hours we spent there i guess. Than we went to the house of virgin marry. Than a nice open beufet restaurant. And at last we went to Şirince the wine Village. Erdem took us to wine tasting. Delicious fruit wines they had. Our guide was also good with my teen children.
Keep going

The three of us booked this particular day-trip based on the excellent reviews it received and the fact that it included an additional stop at the Sirince village. However, our experience could only be at best described as average because we genuinely felt that we were shortchanged.
Contrary to the selected start time of 8.30 am, we were informed on the day before that our pickup would be at 9.40 am due to the later opening time of tourist sites because of Covid-19 pandemic. Whilst we accepted this later start time as unavoidable, we found it unbelievable that our entire day-trip of 9 hours (as advertised) lasted only, if not under, 5 hours. We were last to be picked up from our hotel at 9.40 am and first to be dropped back off at our hotel at around 2.30 pm. It was definitely a half day-trip, and not the full-day trip of 9 hours as advertised. It would be hard pressed to solely justify this ‘shorter’ day trip on the lower turnout (5 people in total) as the day- trip was meant to be in a small-group to begin with.
We visited every single tourist site as advertised for the day-trip but felt rushed through at every single stop. For example, we were in the Ancient City of Ephesus for just 1 hour as opposed to the advertised 2 hours and around 30 minutes in the Sirince village as opposed to the advertised 1.30 hours. Lunchtime was definitely a rush. The highlight of the day-trip was meant to be the Ancient City of Ephesus but we ended up spending only an hour there. That’s a big disappointment!
All these stemmed from the fact that the two German participants in the group who initially booked the half-day Ephesus tour ‘suddenly’ decided to switch to the full-day tour that the three of us had booked (this was told to us by the tour guide himself at the first stop of Isa Bey mosque) and the two Germans had to undergo their Covid-19 test at 3 pm that day. This was later ‘confirmed’ by the telephone conversations undertaken by the tour guide with either the hotel where the two Germans were staying or the test centre that they had their Covid-19 test booked in in an attempt to ‘defer’ their test appointment time.
Why would the tour operator, Peron Tour, try to please the two Germans at the expense of three of us is really mind boggling? We were contacted, via text message, two days later by the office of Peron Tour, for our feedback of the day-trip. We gave our fair feedback and highlighted the shortchange but heard nothing back.
