Highlights of Ephesus Accessible Guided Tour

The half-day Highlights of Ephesus Accessible Guided Tour uses a wheelchair accessible van to bring you from the Kusadasi or Izmir cruise port to the Ephesus ruins.

The ruins of Ephesus are not only impressive sights but also are historically significant in many ways:
– Ephesus had more than 250,000 residents in the first century BC which made it one of the largest cities in the Mediterranean world.
– Paul wrote his letter to the Ephesians.
– Ephesus was one of the seven churches of Asia that are mentioned in the Book of Revelation.
– The Gospel of John may have been written in Ephesus.
– Ephesus was home of the Temple of Artemis which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World

Important notes:
– The tour uses a wheelchair accessible van.
– The tour uses the most accessible route at the Ephesus ruins.
– Your tour guide can assist wheelchair users over the uneven ground in Ephesus.

If you would like a longer shore excursion, the full-day Accessible Ephesus Cruise Excursion from Kusadasi or Izmir also visits the House of the Virgin Mary and St. John’s Basilica.

The Highlights of Ephesus Accessible Guided Tour has a 4 Star Sage Accessibility Rating because it uses a wheelchair accessible van and is entirely step-free. It did not receive a 5 star rating because there is a bit of uneven terrain at the Ephesus ruins. It avoids the long downhill cobblestone-covered road that most tours take which allows it to get a 4 star rating.
