2 Days Ephesus & Sirince Tour from Alanya Private Tour

Highlights of the 2‑Day Ephesus & Sirince Tour

Begin in Alanya and travel to the historic city of Selçuk, home to the magnificent ruins of Ephesus. Walk through the ancient agora, the impressive Odeon, the Temple of Domitian and the grand theatre that once seated 25,000 visitors. Marvel at the Library of Celsus, the third‑largest library of the ancient world, and the majestic Temple of Artemis – one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The tour also covers the Terrace Houses, the Fountain of Trajan and the Temple of Hadrian, offering a comprehensive view of Roman urban life.

After a brief stop in a local weaving centre to witness traditional Turkish carpet production, the journey continues to the picturesque village of Sirince. Here you will visit the St. John Baptist and St. Dimitrios churches, taste local wines, and enjoy Turkish coffee brewed on hot sand – a unique sensory experience. The day ends with a transfer to Kusadasi, where you will check into a comfortable hotel for the night.

On the second day, enjoy a leisurely breakfast before spending the morning at your leisure in Kusadasi. The town’s relaxed seaside atmosphere provides the perfect backdrop for reflection on the day’s discoveries. The tour concludes with a transfer back to Izmir Airport for your flight to Antalya, where you will be picked up and returned to your hotel in Alanya.

The short domestic flight from Antalya to Izmir turns what would be a long road journey into a comfortable two-day escape. Selcuk, the modern town beside Ephesus, keeps the single standing column of the Temple of Artemis, once one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, while the hillside village of Sirince is known for its stone houses, fruit wines and olive-oil soaps sold in narrow lanes. The trip ends on the Aegean coast at Kusadasi before your return flight to Antalya.
