How Many Days in Ephesus?

For most travellers, one day in Ephesus is enough to see the main highlights, especially if your visit focuses on the Ancient City of Ephesus, the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre and the Terrace Houses.

If you want to explore more of the surrounding area, it is worth allowing additional time for the House of the Virgin Mary, Temple of Artemis, Basilica of St. John, Ephesus Archaeological Museum and Selçuk.

Travellers with more time can also include Şirince or combine Ephesus with other destinations in the Aegean region. Because the archaeological area is extensive, a private tour can be particularly useful if you want to see several sites without rushing.
