Includes skip-the-line site entry — open date, no fixed time slot, plus 4 other concierge inclusions. Reserve directly — we secure your open-date ticket the moment you confirm.

What's included

Every booking includes the elements below — handled by our concierge team before your visit and confirmed at the door.

• Skip-the-line site entry — open date, no fixed time slot • The Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, Curetes Street and the Temple of Hadrian • The bundled Ephesus Experience Museum, the city's immersive multimedia show • Mobile e-ticket with QR code, accepted on your phone at the gate — no printing required • 5-minute audio history sent before your visit

Who this is for

This option is the standard adult admission for the whole archaeological site and the bundled Ephesus Experience Museum, on an open date. If you also want to see the Terrace Houses — the patrician homes with their mosaics and frescoes — add the Terrace Houses option in our booking widget; it is a separately gated area that needs a site ticket as well.

On the day

Ephesus stands near Selçuk on Türkiye's Aegean coast, the most complete classical city in the eastern Mediterranean. You walk its marble streets between standing columns and carved monuments — Curetes Street, the Temple of Hadrian, the great facade of the Library of Celsus and the theatre cut into the hillside with seating for around 25,000. Enter at the Upper Gate and walk gently downhill; bring water, a hat and sun protection, as the open site has almost no shade, especially from late spring to early autumn.

Frequently asked

What's included in the skip-the-line ticket?
Priority entry past the ticket-office queue and access to the whole archaeological site — the Library of Celsus, the Great Theatre, Curetes Street, the Temple of Hadrian and the monuments — plus the bundled Ephesus Experience Museum. The ticket is open-dated, so you choose your own day.
Is the ticket for a specific time slot?
No. The adult ticket is open admission — valid during opening hours on the day you visit, with no fixed time slot. We issue an open-dated e-ticket so you can arrive whenever suits you and walk straight in.
Are the Terrace Houses included?
No. The Terrace Houses are a separately gated area that needs an additional ticket on top of this one. Add the Terrace Houses option in our booking widget and use both on the same visit.
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. Your e-ticket carries a QR code that is scanned from your phone at the gate — just show it on screen. There is nothing to print.
