Excursions & day trips

Ephesus at night tour

Ephesus comes alive under the stars on this evening tour. Stroll through the ancient city with your expert guide, who'll lead you down marble streets while sharing stories of the Roman Empire's glory days. Finish up at the digital museum, where history gets a high-tech twist. As you follow your guide through the UNESCO-rated ruins, the evening light adds an extra ambiance to the ruins that you don't get during a daytime visit. You'll weave your way around before arriving at the star attraction – the Library of Celsus. In its heyday, this showstopper was the third-biggest library in the Roman Empire that once housed over 12,000 scrolls. Next, wander through ancient shops and houses, imagining what life was like thousands of years ago, before reaching the Grand Theatre. This massive amphitheatre used to seat up to 24,000 spectators, and it's believed St Paul, one of Jesus' apostles, used to preach here. Finally, you'll head to the digital museum for a chance to check out its interactive exhibits. Watch Ephesus' past come to life with 3D reconstructions, which offer a glimpse of Roman daily life and what the Temple of Artemis might've looked like in its prime.
