Hello. We will be in Kusadasi in May and plan to visit Ephesus one day, then head to Bodrum the second day. We are considering hiring private transportation for both; but any tips would be welcome!
I would rent a car to visit Bodrum. You can take a taxi to Ephesus.
@juliekay: We are also going to Kusadasi in May. Do you have a name/service in mind already for your private transportation or will you just consult the staff at your lodging? I hope to take a day trip to the House of the Virgin Mary.
You may be able to take a minibus from the Kusadasi bus station to Ephesus. If so it will be efficient and far cheaper than private transportation. I took one from Selçuk to Şirince and back a few months ago and it worked out well.
Hello. We will be in Kusadasi May 19, 20 and headed for Bodrum on May 21. I have not yet secured transportation. We plan to visit Ephesus on May 20, go to a late lunch and then return to our Air bnb area for the evening. The owner of the Air bnb said he could help us with transportation to Ephesus, and I have to still hire a car for the drive to Bodrum. I can share further details as I finalize plans if you thik that would help. Julie
