Travel to, from and around Ephesus, Selçuk and nearby towns, beaches, archeological sites, and Izmir's Adnan Menderes Airport is easier now that the trains are running again. More...

Some routes are well served by bus, minibus and taxi. Others are better done by rental car.

Here are distances and estimated travel times.

Here is my Izmir Region Transport Map.

Here's how to travel between Ephesus and Cappadocia.

İZMİR
There's virtual minibus shuttle service between Selçuk's Otogar (bus terminal) and Izmir's Büyük Otogar, with minibuses departing every 15 or 20 minutes throughout the day. A ticket costs about TL10, and the trip takes under two hours.

TCDD trains travel between Selçuk and Izmir via Adnan Menderes Airport six times daily. More...

Kuşadası-Izmir minibuses depart the Kuşadası Otogar about every 20 or 25 minutes all day, every day.

SELÇUK-EFES-KUŞADASI
During the warm months, minibuses shuttle frequently (every 20 minutes or so) between Selçuk and Kuşadası, passing the entrance to the Ephesus Archeological Site along the way. (It's a 10-minute walk from the highway drop-off point to the archeological site entrance, though.) Service is scarcer in the evening, however.

ŞİRİNCE
Minibuses travel the 8 km between Selçuk and the hill town of Şirince every 30 minutes during the day in the summer months, less frequently in the winter.

IZMIR'S ADNAN MENDERES AIRPORT
Please see the Adnan Menderes Airport Transport page for details. Here's how to drive from the airport to Selçuk.

BODRUM
The Pamukkale Turizm bus company operates Bodrum—Çeşme buses that stop in Selçuk. The trip between Bodrum and Selçuk takes 3 hours; between Selçuk and Çeşme 2-1/4 hours.

Otherwise, to travel between Bodrum and Selçuk, take a minibus between Selçuk and the nearby town of Söke (SUR-keh), then a bus to Bodrum; or a minibus to İzmir, then a bus to Bodrum.

PRIENE-MILETUS-DIDYMA-ALTINKUM
In summer, minibuses depart Selçuk's Otogar at 09:00 am on a "tour route" to these three impressive archeological sites. You pay a flat fee for the ride, stopping at each site for a period of time, and usually ending with a swim at Altınkum beach, returning to Selçuk by 17:00 (5 pm).
