The site is like an open air museum, with structures still standing as they did thousands of years in the past. The ruins are more than just pieces of rubble and broken columns. Most of the structures have retained the form of the buildings that they once were. Not only has that, visitors also got to see the Roman friezes and art on their walls.
Aside from the ancient Roman structures, you can also see well-preserved classical Mediterranean architecture during your Bodrum to Ephesus tour. You will need a whole day to explore all the things that the ancient metropolis has to offer.
History of Ephesus
Ephesus is near the tourist resort of Kusadasi. It was founded in the 10th century B.C. as a colony of the Attic-Ionian people. Throughout the centuries, the city was besieged by different conquerors. It was under attack by the Cimmerians, Lydians, Persians, and Romans before it was destroyed by the Goths in the year 263 A.D.
Even if it was destroyed by the Goths, it remained to be a vital commercial hub throughout the Byzantine Era, until the Turks invaded it in 1304 A.D. Although the city was conquered by various civilizations, most of the structures in Ephesus were built or renovated during the Roman Era.
Places to See and Things to Do during the Tour
House of the Virgin Mary
According to history, St. John and Mary stayed in Ephesus after the death of Jesus. The Virgin Mary stayed in a small house on Mount Bulbuldagi during her last days of her life. At present, the house got an official sanction from the Vatican, and Christians perform a commemoration rite on August 15 each year.
Ruins in Ephesus
There are lots of ruins in Ephesus, and they have lots of stories to tell visitors. One of the largest ruins in the ancient metropolis is the Odeion Theatre, which is a semi-circular structure that is composition of steps that can hold up to 1,400 spectators. The theatre is made out of marble and holidaymakers can get a good view of the city at the highest point of the seats.
Pollio Fountain
The Pollio Fountain might be small, but it is a good example of ancient Roman art. The statues along its sides were carved from marble slabs and showed the adventures of Odysseus after the Trojan Wars.
These are just some of the things to see and places to visit during the Marmaris to Ephesus tour. Keep in mind that you will do a lot of walking in the ancient city. You should wear comfortable shoes, clothing, and hat to block the sun.

As a large family of 17, we decided to do a few day trips with "Brendan from E good travel", having read some wonderful reviews about him and his company....we... read more were definitely not disappointed!!! In fact, we did the Turkish baths, the Quad biking, the Jeep safari and even hired a private boat for a full day....what a wonderful experience had by all!!!! Our family was aged from 12 to 58 and everyone of us had a brilliant holiday and that was hugely due to the day trips, what wonderful memories we all have now......its been a tough 2 and a half years for everyone and this was exactly what we all needed!!!!!....from the moment we were picked up from the hotel everday by minibus and brought back, all we did was laugh, sing, dance and more.....some days we were brought back to the hotel, wet, filthy, tired but definitely happy, great memories!!! On one daytrip one of our family members had left his wallet on the minibus, having realised this late eve, we rang Brendan, he checked straight away and sure enough we had it back the next day......we found Brendan to be very knowledgeable in all that he does, he is very friendly, has a lovely manner and is very welcoming.....we would highly recommend Brendan and his company, "E Good travel" to anyone looking for a day filled with laughter, song and great fun!!!!

Brendan has been amazing helping us with our trips. Brendan even noticed that the weather was going to be a bit rubbish on one of the days we had... read more a boat trip booked and found us an alternative for a day with better weather at no extra cost. His prices were the best I saw while we were out. The jeep safari is a must do, me and the family had such as great day filled with laughter. Be prepared to get very wet.
We also went scuba diving which was awesome. So many fish to see and the guys on the ship where so helpful and really made us feel at ease.
We are so lucky to have come across Brendan at e-good travel. He really did make our holiday amazing.

Well where do i begin? Me and my partner went to Mamaris for the first time in October 2021. We did not know what to expect and were quite nervous.... read more We wanted to do lots of excursions and make it a holiday to remember. With browsing through the internet we came across E-Good travel with excellent review so thought hey it must be good right. I gave Brendan a message who was so polite, helpful and informing right from the first message. He agreed to meet us at our hotel the day we got there and was happy to answer all my questions leading up to the holiday. Brendan settled a lot of anxieties for our first holiday. He even sent a photo of him and his van to ensure safety which i thought was so good of him!
We arrived 21st october 2021 and Brendan met us as promised right on time! We went to his office and discussed all the excursions we wanted to do. He planned an amazing week for us! He was so welcoming and polite, helping us in every way we could! We booked buggy safari, jeep safari, turkish bath, parasailing and go karting: all of which i will DEFO recommend everyone doing. All the trips ran smoothly and on time with all drivers polite and respectful. Such good fun.... the jeep safari was my favourite with a 40 minute water fight where we all got really competative .
When our return home came (very sad times ) Brendan went out of his way to ensure we had everything prepared to minimise our stress. From communicating in the UK prior to our holiday, right through to when we left... Brendan was always there if needed. We cannot thank Brendan enough for all his assistance, absolutely amazing person inside and out. We are even returning with our children in 2023 and the first stop will be E-Good travel to see our friend Brendan!
Guys, i recommend E-Good travel for all your excursion needs! You will not be disappointed. Even if you are unsure of what to do, a quick chat with Brendan will ensure your trip is organised well and packed with fun! Dont forget he also does executive private airport transfers... nothing but CLASS! Arrive in style at your hotel with the help of the main man Brendan and his trusted and reliable team.
Thank you so much Brendan! We miss you and cannot wait for the next holiday...... you really are a beautiful person with the kindest heart! You made our first holiday to Mamaris one to remember... ❤
