Modern Turkey stands upon ground with history dating back to antiquity. Unsurprisingly, the country is home to many remnants of ancient civilisations. Equally unsurprisingly, they often make the most famous tourist attractions, and Ephesus is no different, as it’s visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. Given that you may want to be one of them too one year, today’s post will go over the practical side of things: what’ll it cost you?
Entry costs to Ephesus in 2023
Before we head to pragmatics, let’s go over the basics of what Ephesus even is. It’s an ancient city, origins of which, depending on which of the various scholars we listen to, date back to between the tenth and ninth centuries BC. Ephesus was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.
Your entry cost will depend on the type of tour you choose. The price list for admission to Ephesus and its surrounding site in 2023, if you buy your ticket directly through the official museum sales website, is as follows:
- Tour of the main complex – €16 per person
- House of Mary: €8 per person
- Temple of Artemis: free
- Basilica of St. Peter: €4 per person
- Sirince Village: free
- Isa Bey Mosque: free
- Terrace houses: €7 per person
- Ephesus Museum: €4 per person
Children under 8 years old can visit Ephesus for free. Their age can be confirmed via their passport.
It is worth remembering that the above prices apply to individual tours. You can also find offers for guided tours on popular tourist sites such as Get your Guide. The price of a ticket to Ephesus in such a case starts at around 30 pounds. A more expensive option guaranteeing a more in-depth tour can be as high as over £60. On the other hand, an audio guided tour costs around £25.
It is also worth remembering that there are local tour offers available in the popular tourist destinations in Turkey which include Ephesus and might end up being cheaper for you.
