Ephesus Tourist Trap Tips by WulfstanTraveller

At the entrance, many people will offer to give one a ride to the far/upper end of Efes, citing the "long" walk and the fact that this allows someone to see the whole thing from end to end. Unless one is actually unable to walk very far (in which case this might be a good idea), this service is not necessary. The ruins are large and the walk is not short, but it is not really that long, either. Nor is it that difficult or up a very steep slope. It's not, for example, remotely as long or hard as a hike up to the acropolis of Pergamon.

However, for those not up to serious walking, for whatever, reason, I suppose that it might make sense to get a ride.
