1.Customized Private Ephesus Tour & Farm Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 166 reviews · 4 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $159Our pick

Review of a private Ephesus tour with expert guiding, Terrace Houses, Virgin Mary’s House, farm lunch, rug weaving, and Turkish coffee.

“Our guide Mithat went over and above our expectations to create a perfect experience. We were off a cruise and he took us to Epehesus and a farm lunch as planned but offered a number of other options after at no extra cost. Mithat was very knowledgeable of the history of the site but also of his country and the geography. He is an excellent storyteller and kept us engaged from start to finish. The minivan offered was top quality and the driver very efficient and safe.”

Cycle through Turkish vineyards, enjoy a farm lunch, meet rug makers, and explore Ephesus on a private Kusadasi day tour.

“This was my favorite thing that I did during my entire Turkey and Greece vacation. I HIGHLY recommend this experience if you’re in the area. We were lucky enough to travel with the owner Emre who is extremely personable and passionate about everything he does whether it’s biking or teaching you about the various aspects of Turkey. The bike ride was absolutely amazing and you can make it as difficult as you would like because you’re on an e-bike. It was really special because we would stop by the side of the farms we were biking through and pick and eat fresh grapes, chestnuts, and figs. We were taken to…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 7 reviews · 15 - 45 minutes · from $32

Ride horses, camels, or donkeys at a cowboy-themed Antalya farm, with arena sessions, village safaris, family facilities, and optional transfers.

“1st time horse riders. Wonderful experience. As much as my children and I enjoyed petting the animals, the animals seemed to appreciate the attention. I must also mention, the staff are very patient, welcoming and the energy/aura/assistance amplified the overall experience. I would advise to bring cash if you intend on buying drinks and tipping, I only had cards. Despite at no point do they request, nore make tipping feel like a necessity, out of all countries ive visited, they are most deserving. I left with regret not being able to.”
