'Mode': AROUND
Category: Bus
Getting TO/AROUND: If you want to visit Ephesus, you best stay in one of that cheaper accomodations in Selcuk. You may be offered a room immediately at your arrival at the bus station.
From there, minibuses go to Ephesus (Efes).
The ride to (including the way back) Mary's House costs about 27 Euro by taxi, so if you are planning to use it share it whith 2 or 3 persons!
Best alternative is going there by feet.
Leave for Efes not too late in the morning (entrance about 10 Euro). Leave Efes by the upper gate, and go on walking upwards (about 4-6 kilometers and not 10 or more like some people pretend to say) until the end of the street. They will charge you 2 Euro entrance, but not 6 as if you would have arrived by taxi.
Enjoy the nice park and fresh water of the ayazma- spring. But don't go there at night because the gate is closed at 19.00h! On your way back, some hundred meters after passing the upper entrance of Efes, take the sideway to Yedi uyuyanlar (a ruin of a bizantine worship church) and rest at the shady foodpost serving tasty and not expensive meals located nearby.
You may walk back to Selcuk through the peach plantations.
