Will be staying in Izmir on business. Any recommendations from those of you who have enjoyed a guided tour of Ephesus? Would you recommend a private tour or a group tour?

Kent Dore,<BR><BR>Definitly recommend you hire a guide in Ephesus In lower or upper entrence of Ephesus there are many Tourist Guides who certified by the Ministry of Tourism<BR>They are the best about Ephesus. You can rent a car and go there (From Izmir to Selcuk where the ephesus is only 75 KM and road is good).<BR><BR>ABC

End of 2001 we ( I, wife with 3 children ) had memorable experience with Deren Koray Tourism - www.turkishtravel.com. Mr. Altan Koray brought us to Pamukalle, Ephesus, Bergama, Asclepion, and many other places near Izmir. He know also good places for food. Nice places to see and economical.<BR>

I agree with abc. There are many, many guides waiting at the gate. And they are really specialists. You will get your own tour of Ephesus, and he/she will concentrate to your questions and comments only.

I can recommend contacting Sezgin Demirci at [email protected]. His website is www.ephesustours.com.<BR><BR>We have used his services in the past, and will be touring with him again this coming week. He is an excellent guide.
