WHAT TO EXPECT


As an outdoors venue, Ephesus is perfect to explore a historic and important archaeological site. You will not only be able to see the ruins in this site but you will also walk the same roads and go right into the buildings. It's a wonderful place to pretend you were an ancient merchant living in the luxury houses, attending the theatre or eating in a restaurant just as they did in ancient times and like they still do today in modern day town of Kusadasi.


Wine taste at the local winery with 5 kinds of wine. Cheese plate, extra virgin olive oil, and homemade grape bread with your wine.


The local wines you are going to taste are named after the sages who lived in the closest settlements to our region; Thales, Bias, Solon, Khilon, Anaxagoras, Lassos and Pythagoras. 


The vineyard and winery have been established on the ancient road between the cities of Ephesus and Magnesia, and are located in the centre of the Ionian city-states.
