Great day to be in it, me and my friends we went to Ephesus for a day and spend great time with Ephesus day tour from Istanbul. Firstly I will recommend this organization because everything is going to be done for you, they come and pick you up from hotel, you visit the sites one by one by. Professional tourist guide and driver accompany while touring in between ruins, you taste local meals it kind of gourmet trip during the lunch because it is open buffet restaurant then you can taste the local meals. Everything was together in a day, I recommend this tour. I liked it.
