Izmir Train from Izmir to Istanbul
Posted: Fri October 16, 2009 04:01 AM UTC
We need to travel from Izmir to Istanbul and the end of a tour next year and are considering the train. Can someone tell me how this trip is? How long? Cost? how was the train? I understand that the last portion is VIA ferry. How is the connection, ferry ride, etc.? Appreciate any input from fellow travelers who have done this train trip. Jim

Selcuk Bus From Selcuk To Pamukkale
Posted: Tue October 6, 2009 10:29 AM UTC
I will be arriving in Selcuk a day before (afternoon) and will do a ephesus day tour the next day before evening bus to Pamukkale. I have checked around and the only bus that go straight to Pamukkale (not Denizli) is Ege Koop which depart at 4.30pm. Is there enough time for me to see around by 4pm and if not , is there any other bus that goes to pamukkale ( or denzili).

Ephesus Tyring to choose between group and private tour
Posted: Thu August 13, 2009 05:10 PM UTC
The group tour is 30 Euro's cheaper than the private tour.

The group tour goes to the House of Virgin Mary, Ancient City of Ephesus, Temple of Artemis, and Isabey Mosque.

The private tour goes to the Archeology Museum and St. John's Bascilica instead of the Temple and Mosque.

I'm just wondering if we would be missing out or getting better locations with the private tour. I know that the Temple is one of the seven wonders of the world, and the Mosque is supposed to be great as well.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm going the first week of September and trying to book the tour as soon as possible.

Ephesus Recommendation of day tour companies for cruiseship traveler
Posted: Fri July 17, 2009 03:31 PM UTC
In September, my friends are planning to take a Holland American line with following excursions. It seems the cruiseline arranged tours are filled, can anyone recommend good/reliable day tour (that could take you from the dock, tour and back to dock?) at Euphesus?

Is there any good day tour company picking them up from the cruise ship, have a tour of around etc then take them back to the cruise ship? How much would this cost?

If you have any day tour company recommendation for places below also, it would be very helpful:
- Athens (from dock Pireas)
- Corfu
- Katakolon

- Messina, Sicily, Italy
- Dubrovnik, Croatia

Thanks in advance for any help!

Izmir Prices in Izmir
Posted: Sun June 28, 2009 03:23 AM UTC
Hello...

Can anyone tell me what the cost is of some items just to give me an idea of it's prices in T. Lira?

For example, how much is a can of coke or how much does a postcard cost in Lira please?

Are there souvenir stalls outside where the Library of Celsus is located? In case we need bottled water, how much do these cost at this area?


Thank you very much.

Ephesus Ephesus guide book with transparency overlays
Posted: Fri June 12, 2009 04:54 PM UTC
When we were in Kusadasi we saw a book in the bookstore just outside of the port that had transparencies overlays to the ruins so you could see the "then and now" differences. However, they did not have the book in English, so we hoped to find the book when we got home. Does anyone know the author/publisher/website or source where we can get it?
Thanks!

Izmir Metro to the Bazaar
Posted: Thu June 11, 2009 07:02 PM UTC
My wife and I will visit Izmir by cruise ship for about 6+ hours in October. It would be interesting to visit the bazaar. It is my impression that could take the subway/metro from the port (Alsancak?) to Konak, and find the bazaar. Some web sites suggest that the metro is not yet functional. Guidance please.

Izmir Travel from Izmir airport to Aliaga
Posted: Mon June 1, 2009 09:00 AM UTC
We are visiting Turkey later this month and need to travel from Izmir airport
to Aliaga.
I understand there is a shuttle bus from the airport to Izmir but believe this goes into the centre of Izmir as opposed to the central bus station.
Is there a link from the centre to the bus station and from the bus station which bus do we need to catch to get to Aliaga?
Thank you.

Selcuk Hotel Bella in Selcuk
Posted: Wed April 29, 2009 10:41 PM UTC
Hotel Bella has many, many positive reviews. Has anyone stayed there? Also the hotel offers free trips to Ephesus, and tours to other places such as Pergamum. I am not sure of the fee for these tours. How can I judge if the fee they ask is reasonable?

Thanks.

Ephesus Private Guide in Ephesus in May - recommendations?
Posted: Sat April 18, 2009 01:54 AM UTC
My husband and I are interested in hiring a private guide while in Ephesus, and the only company I've found that will allow us to design our own tour (Ephesus, Mary's House, Terrace Houses, and Ephesus Museum, and perhaps St. John's Basilica if there is time) is EphesusTours.biz.

Can anyone recommend this company, or any other company that will allow us to make up our own itinerary?

EpheusTours.biz is licensed by TURSAB (Assoc of Turkish Travel Agencies) and it looks legit. But I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has used this company or can recommend another.

Thank you.
