It was a good tour, but I felt that the visit to some of the lesser-known sites was unnecessary. More time could have been spent at the main attractions like the Great Theatre and Celsus Library.

The private tour with Selçuk was amazing. He gave us an in-depth look at the history of Ephesus, and we had plenty of time to explore. The Temple of Hadrian was unforgettable!
