Ephesus day trip from samos

Published on Oct, 2024

Once you are through customs then you load up on a small boat and head to Turkey. Once through customs on the Turkish side then it’s off to Ephesus on a big bus. After a short ten minute ride, the upper city awaits. A very thoughtful touch, starting in the upper city so the tour is down hill. Our tour guide, Begum, was first rate and had many interesting facts to share on the tour and in the bus. She had the pace perfect…not too much time but enough so that you could hear about the culture then take pictures or buy souvenirs with never much waiting.

Great trip for those into ancient history

Published on Sep, 2024

It was easy to find boat on Samos - you have to go through customs at the very end of the pier. Most people on the boat were also on this tour. There is a small port fee paid as you disembark, so bring cash (also for toilets and lunch). In Ephesus, Euro and US dollar were accepted everywhere we went. The guide (Meander Tours) met us at the exit, straight after we went through customs at Ephesus, so that was very easy. We had our hotel print out the tour ticket to give him, which they sent a couple days before. The tour guide was excellent, and everything was well organized. The church of Mary and the museum was not visited on this tour, which we didn't realize, but the site itself was well explained. There was a bit of time for shopping at the end, but this tour seems most geared towards people who want to see the ancient site. It is a really nice day trip for those interested in ancient history.

Great day trip for archaeology buffs

Published on Sep, 2024

The ferry was pleasant; easy finding the boat. The Meander tours guide in Ephesus was excellent and very well informed.

Amazing Ephesus

Published on Jul, 2024

Seeing the ancient city and learning about its history. The library and theatre were amazing. Our guide Hakan was very knowledgeable.

Ephesus

Published on Jun, 2019

While Cretan Holidays was a bit of a communication shambles, their partner Meander tours on the Turkey side was exceptional! The guide Hakan, was a retired archeologist and simply a font of knowledge. He managed a large group extremely well within a very busy tourist attraction. He made the past come alive. If you are using Cretan holidays from Samos, be sure to make them clear in the communication of which boat (name helps) and where to catch it. They have no representation to help you at the docks in Samos. We took the Venus from the right hand side of the pier looking out to sea from the waterfront. (A blue and white boat) Our thanks to a previous review to alert us to Cretan Holidays lack of communication!
