About Ephesus Archaeological
Ephesus Archaeological goes further into the site than either the Highlights or Exclusive tours, spending extra time at the Ephesus Archaeological Museum, the Odeon, and the Temple of Artemis on top of the standard route. It suits visitors who want the fullest possible day of ruins and artifacts rather than a mix of sites. At eight hours it's the longest of the three city-only options — for a shorter version, see The Highlights of Ephesus or The Exclusive of Ephesus.
